Nikon announcement on Wednesday?

By [NR] admin | Published: April 25, 2011

I still have not received a confirmation about the previously rumored Nikon announcement on April 27th, which is very unusual. One of the expected new products is the already leaked Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G lens. My theory is that Nikon did not plan this announcement, but after the lens was leaked they had to very quickly organize the official release. This […]

Done deal: multiple press events scheduled in Europe for August 19th, 2010

By [NR] admin | Published: August 4, 2010

What I reported back in July, now has a probability of 99%: Nikon has scheduled multiple press events across Europe for August 19th, 2010. I am still a bit puzzled about the Coolpix cameras announcement that is suppose to be on August 17th, 2010. In the past, Nikon aways announced the p&s line one week before or after […]
