LOL... somebody got drunk and blogged.
Knowing NASA, they probably use Lecia, just cause it costs more.
Haven't read the link, but Nikon and NASA actually have a long history together.

they use D1, the D2X, D3, and the D2Xs.
I think Unk Bob is full of horse hockey.
yeah and if you travel too fast in space you will get a speeding ticket ... taken with a nikon. :-)
With all these rumors about the D700x I wonder if any of them are real. Will there be a D700x? Will it be out in Oct?
According to a very reliable source, this year there will be no Nikon D700s or Nikon D700x.
What Nikon plans to do is to launch totally new D800 to replace the existing D700.
There are several features available in Nikon D800:
1) Video mode 1080p video recording (full HD)
2) High resolution 24.5 MP.
3) High frame rate: 7 fps without battery grip (similar to D300s)
4) 51-area Nikon Multi-CAM 3500FX (same technology as D3X)
Basically Nikon D800 will compete head to head against Canon's EOS 5D MkII.
Most likely Nikon will launch the brand new D800 before Christmas end of this year.
