Anyone in the UK getting letters? If it is Nikon, it's definitely not a product that they expect to compete with FX or DX given that they are just about to introduce new rebates for the (high end?) cameras + glass combo. So if it is not competition for high end FX or DX then who would buy it? D3000/5000 users? If so, then those people are not generally the type to get excited by new products, so why send out mailings to them or to pros? One possibility is that the new system could supplement a FX/DX body for a pro/hobbyist but then why also have the rebates starting next week for high end lenses and bodies. Nothing really adds up here. Am I missing something? If the press conference is in the UK, then why are these letters being mailed out to residents of France? Anyone in the UK getting letters?

Or if they are successful, then Nikon could be coping it with D3000, D5000 lineup. Yellow and black could also be Renault :) It could be Pentax – they have done a lot off different colour cameras (and they have also an announcement soon).

I remember when I started photography in France (about 25 years ago), cameras and lenses were sooooooooooooooooo expensive ! There was 33% taxes on photo, video, Tv, audio, etc.. To buy a 300mm f/2.8, it was cheaper travelling Paris-New york-Paris to get a 300mm f/2.8 ! So, believe me, I enjoy living in USA, no taxes, better pays (well, when you're able to work), nice girls, the only thing I'm missing is a good camembert ! :o Bonjour Bernard !

If that's the diameter of the standard lens, what kind of body would it have?
