Hello everyone I am an admirer Nikon will have 22 years, not discouraged with the flop of beginning of Digital Nikon cameras, I just temporarily go to Fuji-S2 & S3. Waiting for the new Nikon, but I am beginning to think that is a long time and nothing, nothing new!!!! The D3X an excellent machine, but $$$$$$$ very expensiv
the D3s is excellent to…..but only 12 MP not enough and $$$$$ to, waiting for the equivalent of Canon 5D Mark II and similar prices and nothing, nothing ..Nikon forgets that people like me, professionals in Photoshop, get the same results, with Canon and prices very low. Nikon Sorry, but a lot of time and waiting and waiting and nothing.I did not want , but i think I’ll go for Canon, whith Carl Zeiss optics or the new Sony Cameras, whith same Sensor D3X. Is two much…….and attention, a lot of people think the same as I.

I’m not getting a D3s or D4 either, but it’s that technology that trickles down to us “common folk” that exciting!

I happened to look at a C@&*^ rumors site. There’s talk of the articulating screen coming on the 60D. Maybe it’s the new thing to compliment video.

Since the translation hints at P&S and Nikon supposedly talking strategy, could it be that Nikon’s MX line isn’t quite ready and Nikon’s spreading some FUD to slow the momentum of m43. Good marketing IMO.
Whilst still vapour-ware, potential m43 buyers should correctly only consider what’s on the market for their choices. But if Nikon talks about something tangible with a mock-up or something saying its coming this Summer (northern hemisphere), a lot of potential buyers would probably adopt the wait and see approach. Unlike pros who need equipment for their living, I doubt ppl buying MX would “have to have it NOW.”
But if they announce, they better not screw it up and delay it constantly like Samsung with their NX. Get the timing right, stick to it and deliver.
Since this sits above the coolpix line, I doubt it’d deflate coolpix sales. I think coolpix buyers are different to potential m43 buyers.
That’s my hunch on this press conference.

How much for a D700x you think?

By: 3space

canon is quick on the draw but in the long run nikon will create a better product… in three years all these camera’s will have similar features… then all that will matter is what lenses your invested in…. Nikon is about refinement and perfection,,, canon is about features, price and marketing…

my take… because its at the end of the show this move will be more of damage control and give just enough info to keep the people on the fence a reason to hold on. The 5Dmk2 and canon’s video line up has really hurt nikon and they must respond. So I’m guessing nikon has a nice 700x to take on the 5Dmk2 but its not ready yet but they can’t afford to remain silent any longer… so at the last minute they decided to spill the beans… I’m betting on a 700x 24 MP with 1080p video…. this would be the perfect compliment to the D3s. Later they will get to the D90 replacements

Nothing is announced the last day of a trade show. You can bet Canon will put someone to shame next Tuesday though.

The source seems Sankei Group, with its news paper division Sankei Shinbun being one of the big 5 national papers in Japan. The site you point to is so called an economic news calendar. Though we have observed an inaccurate comment saying ” I should say the word “announce” in Japanese may have another meaning = “talk”. “, such a possibility unlikely comes true. When a company predicts an announcement of new camera(s) to the press, it’s really to announce, never to simply talk.

This just might be IT. New FX cam. Canon is supposedly going to announce 32mp 1Ds4 so maybe Nikon wants to counter with their own announcement.
Fakechuckwestfall is complaining about this too

Just a hunch. Nikon started the whole video thing with the D90. They’ve obviously am working hard to compete in this area since the competition has really raised the bar. Could the D90 replacement be heavily geared towards video?
