Finally a teaser from Nikon - the website iamcomings.com is now live:
The domain iamcomings.com is registered to the The New Media Edge, a marketing/PR company in SE Asia. Nikon is not on the list of their clients.
Several Nikon websites were down in the past few hours - an updated is definitely on the way for their mirrorless camera introduction.

I am oh, oh, oh, slow down girl! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Subtle.
Says, Ren “Kockwell” — Nikon user.
Eh ? I missed the sexual reference. Actually, I thought it was like that feeling you get when you know you release a massive turd.
lol. I imagine the experience this week will be pretty much identical for most of us
Never heard of an “Oh Face”?

@Steve
For a turd you would say “it’s coming”.
Not the turds I’m thinking about. They’re EVIL. THEY say, “I am coming, ready or not…”. but thankfully they don’t take 48 hours….
Ok, coming they are, but you have to push all the right buttons!
If you hold down the F1 key and the WB at the same time and turn the front and rear… yes the rear…. thumb wheel…. then… maybe they will.
Looks like its multiple “coming” as the url is plural “www.iamcomings.com”!!
I’m sueing ! How dare they use my name !
No, i don’t think, bco then the text in the Logo would also have an “s”.
I think, the url was just occupied… (and they didn’t had the time or didn’t want to spend the money, to buy it from the owner…)
And apparantely, many nikon users are going….somewhere else
Yep, can’t see how this will sell compared to m43 or nex. I’ll be switching systems soon – thank goodness for Ebay ! One great thing about Nikon – high re-sale value !
See ya! More cameras for us and less d-bags like you threatening to switch every 5 minutes.
Oh yeah, I forgot about the shortage of lenses – how kind of me to help you out eh ? Actually, I’ve been with Nikon for many years and this is the first time I’ve said I’m switching. I will miss Nikon rumors though. Such nice easy going ppl here.
Steve, if you think that Nikon is troublesome, try updating the Canon Rebel software to Windows 7. No way. It took me a day to find out that no such thing exists and that a card reader is needed. So, no simple convenient UBS connection, but a major nuisance of transfering a memory card between the camera and a card reader.
dang it takes a long time for nikon to come
But Nikon is finally making up for the long time coming with “iamcomings”, with the emphasis on “s”!
You have to get the nikkors off first.
ok, I lolled :-0
Now THAT is good
)
Hilarious! After spending the morning working on employment law, that has made my day!
this is Tantric shhh yu got to wait a maximum of time before you come sometime you just missed the orgasm that’s why Its so stupid;;;!!!,,,,,,?????,
Will you have to take this Nycon camera out to a fancy dinner before it will put out a pic?
Well after all, since these three words together are so provocative, the slogan message will likely be all the more effective…
Hey Peter,
Didn’t Thom say there was a couple of dslr announcements this week ?
Personally I’m starting to think no dslr announcements until 2012, do you know if these mirrorless cameras are made in Japan or elsewhere ?
Thom says just about everything. But you don’t have to believe it all.
That’s what he said
I am not aware of any DSLRs coming any time soon. I think next Nikon announcement is again not going to be a DSLR. No idea where the mirrorless camera is made but I think it will not be in Japan.
well something is coming…
http://imaging.nikon.com/brand/new_culture_of_light.htm
ads that mean nothing, i’d be sad that they put the dslr there and its not for that…
Nikon should press the shutter release already. Ha ha ha ha.
well at least we know that nikon spends alot of resources on marketing and does not tolerate premature releases of their products
Nikon is coming…
BUT at what time?? Bangok time? Tokio time?
(London time would mean wednesday, around 6 p.m.) ??
I took it apart with a SWF decompiler. The flash is pulling a count straight from: http://www.newmedia-campaigns.com/demo/bogo_countdown.php and contains no actual further information about the full site when the countdown expires. Oh well.
thanks, I unsuccessfully tried to guess some random URLs with the hope to get more info
You are good, but there is no way you would have guessed this one.
Hey, is that a mirrorless in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?
lol
sweet.. this is a blessing.. i can’t afford new FX at the moment.. let them hold the launch of whatever Dxxx until i can… take your time Nikon, perfect whatever new technology you got first to give it extra ooomph … i’m not going anywhere ..
There is an old saying ‘Any publicity is good publicity’, and look how much talk has been generated on here by the ‘I Am Coming’ slogan. On a less serious note, can you think of a better slogan to convey the idea that whatever is being introduced is what the advertising industry calls ‘sexy’?
“I am coming” says “we’re not there yet” and I think for many ppl Nikon will be “neither here nor there”, even when they do get the product out. Afterall, there’s probably a good reason no other manuf is making 1″ sensor cams.
less than two days to being disappointed by nikon again, can’t wait motherfuckers!!!
ironically, when this is all said and done, only one of will be left satisfied…
admin, are u planing to review AW100 any time soon ???
i’m on the market for new underwater camera and it looks like aw is on top of the list for now…
yes, it will be a guest review, should be online in the next week or so
Nikon after you come, take a moment to look at what your competition is doing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ts6AYgbqok&feature=youtu.be&hd=1
Frankly, all this waiting is giving me a big case of blueballs. Stop teasing us Nikon. What I’m really looking for is a happy ending (oh yea, and more paypal donations on my website)
Don’t come.
I can hold it for one more year I am……
OK Nikon, I want a new D4 or D800 so I can “shoot” my load.
With a campaign slogan like “I am comings”, this should be their pitchman…..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBG8RhmW_N8
You made my day :_)
Don’t advertise my photo shoot please people might copy my style thank you.
Damn ! Alot of people are gonna mock this IAMCOMINGS.COM. Sound like porn. Wtef is Nikon marketing up to. Damn ! What the hell are they thinking … Nikon just went Rated X …
i am comings, la! ^,^
This has to be done by their south east asian team Y0.
the “la” is mainly used by us Singaporeans, so since this is from a Thai agency, you don’t get the singlish “la”, but they get to make the “s” grammar mistake
The important thing It’s to get the kleenex before you come…..
In my previous life as an internet applications engineer, I would be fired if I have to take down a few websites just to perform new updates to the website – in fact, we were working on sites for a major silicon valley company, including regional ones, and to take down a website for a new product launch is UNTHINKABLE….
Apple doesn’t take down a few sites because they launch a new iPhone….
I don’t see the logic too of using “iamcomings” – it’s grammatically wrong and smacks of a heck-care attitude. “Oh iamcoming.com is already taken by some pregnancy site which we forgot to check beforehand so let’s put an ‘s’ behind so that we don’t have to stay overtime to rethink our marketing tagline”.
All will be forgiven if what is “comings” is a D800
Bad example… Apple regularly take down their sites when there is a major product refresh or when they launch a new product. Usually their sites are brought down for a significant amount of time and replaced with a “We’ll be back soon” message until an official announcement is made.
This is the last straw. Iv’e been contemplating to change to Canon for a while. If its D800, thank you Nikon, if its not, hello Canon, goodbye Nikon.
Really? The 5D MkIII isn’t coming any sooner than the D800, so what’s the rush?
He wants MOAR MP!!!!!!!!!!111oneeleven
wrong I think the 6D will be here next month ,Canon here I come !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Not.
He prefers
Canon’s more subtle “Delighting you always”
to
Nikon’s outright “I am comings!”
What is the world coming to?
I now cannot watch Canon’s TV ad of
“Canon – delighting you always”
without recalling
Nikon’s “I am comings” campaign.
Between these two, someone should squeeze the shutter release already!
Subtle eh? Make sure shutter is set on 30 seconds, or better yet on BULB!
Pros always set aperture wide open!
Other than the colors, is there any real reason to believe this is part of a Nikon promotion?
The count down time is right and Nikon does have “I am…” marketing campaign. Also, it is created by a PR agency, so unless there is a new type of condom coming on the 21st, this is for the Nikon mirrorless camera.
I just noticed they changed their ICANN whois information to private registration…
Anyways, my point was that anyone can register a domain and put any information they want for the registration information. (I know, not likely in this case.) Anyone can register “iamcomings-iphone.com” and put Steve Jobs as the registrant.
It also makes no sense to create a domain one week before a product launch, and have that domain name be something that would be completely useless after the launch.
Unless there is a huge iamcomings.com marketing campaign that I missed somewhere, this website seems pointless.
You almost got it Admin. Actually it is a new camera exclusive for porn shots and movies
not just face detection!
Oh well, Nikon is coming… but it’s a fake orgasm…no DSLR only a mirrorless crap. LOL
Honestly all this hype for a P&S with exchangeable lenses?! What the?!
FOWK!!!!
Following the philosophy from some [NR] readers, that say that producing point and shoot toys like the recent GI Joe piece of shit camera that recently came out will bring money to Nikon and make it a stronger company, maybe Nikon now will turn in to the porn industry and make sex toys in order to “make money” since some folks here seem to think thats whats important for a company.
Hello kids,
Please stop whining that the next gen dslr is not yet annnounced and admit you do not take any pictures with the digital cameras you own except macro shots and hdr. Always wanting the next thing just for the sake of looking like a pro photog won’t make you take any more inspired shoots.
Hi Dad.
Why are you here?
Because I’m a Nikon marketing staff
interesting point, what is your problem with macro shots and HDR? You french people are always so ‘donneur de lecons”
I’m American.
Seems like they Came, and then went..
or is this site also down due to an imminent new product launch….
I AM COMING to a Colossal Failure Near You!!!
This is going to be as bad as those damn 1/2 ass movie project cameras…that NO one else produced.
IF NR is right…at 10mp and over priced 700 plus….save your funds for Sony NEX 7…at 24mp.
I don’t get Nikon anyone…They lost me.
I AM COMING.
That’s youporn, folks.
S is for Soon.
iamcomingsoon is taken by Jesus.
And there has not been a new model of Jesus in two thousand years!
Well then it’s time for a new model, isn’t it. Digital at last!!
Maybe Nikon should hire an english speaking pun-proficient person…
Isn’t the annoucement time unusual ? The count-down leads to 2 AM in Tokyo (on 22th already), 7PM in europe (at GMT+2), and 1PM in New-York.
Not that I really care, but it’s intriguing… maybe there is a bug in the flash code ?
12am in SEA (GMT+8)
This is it. A dedicated porn camera for all the commers and new-commers cumm shooters out there.
I have a marketing hint btw: if they made the countdown longer (like months or years) everybody would be able to see the humor in the new camera. As it is now, its just your everyday hummiliation.
Nikon may say they are comming, but we are like the girl waiting endlessly because he really can’t and we’ve since lost all interest.
After “I am coming” is “I came”, which means “I busted”
i am waiting
It s the best : I AM WAITING!!!!!!!
Agree:
I am trying to make that a trendo topic (how naive of me though) in twitter, since for more than a year now, every Nikon related post I tweet or retweet with a:
#IAmNikon #IAmWaitingForEverNikon
Only if all of us would do it, and it would truly become a popular thing in twitter, maybe Nikon would realize its time to make the D800 or the D4 instead of making TOYS ! Like the mirrorles crap and the GI Joe point and shoot that recently came out
All this waiting for the D800 , has gone from frustration, dissapointment, to good old anger!
Anagram= Minicams Go
A lot of noise for nothing, mirorless Nikon have a small sensor. Sony Nex use same sensor as Nikon reflex for the price and the weight of the little mirorless Nikon . it’ s the brother of the coolpix , thats all.
Here’s the advertising company that came up with the ” I AM” campaign for Nikon http://www.jvm.com/de/cases/#/24/i-am-nikon/ I can’t imagine they would hand it over to another ad agency, I think iamcomings is a fake.
oops…hit the “i” button then English or else it’ll be in German.
I’m coming too baby! YES! JUST A LITTLE HARDE…..
..
.
wrong thread.
Careful! You might contract coolpox!
Just saw this viral campaign : http://thebighands.com/
Probably from nikon, for the “small” body that makes your hands look big
#IAmWaiting #IAmDissapointed #IAmTiredOfToysInsteadOfCameras #IAmANGRY
Please RT
Oh wait this is [NR] never mind..
I almost have to believe this is not from Nikon…who would choose the URL “iamcomings.com?” That is such a poor choice and open to such obvious ridicule.
First off, why not purchase iamcoming.com? When you type in that URL, you are directed to a page with other advertiser links on it,mostly about pregnancy…it doesn’t seem that it would be too difficult to purchase that URL from its current owner.
Second, of course, one could argue with the phrase I am coming there is the sexual innuendo, and that this is a poor choice of a URL or marketing slogan anyway.
Third, what the heck is iamcomings? That “s” on the end is so awkward…it just makes it seem like bad grammar.
I just don’t see Nikon making this type of a mistake…
That was my thinking – this all seems very amateurish. If it’s actually from Nikon it’s poor.
The new mirrorless call name is XL lol that would be funny… oh man the camera geek jokes galore
iamcoming.com is already taken, so they just added an “s” on the end.
Can’t wait. I heard Nikon will be rolling out the new Nikon D4xxx. Press conference won’t last longer than 3 minutes
