Going back to our original D800 post – from a reader who actually read the magazine:
“I’ve been reading Chasseur d’Images (I’m a native french). There is another mention of the D800 in their hands on preview of the D700: They point to space available in the D700’s memory card compartment that could hold an additional SD card slot (on top of the CF one) for the “coming D800 with the 24MP Sony sensor”.
They’re definitely taking the D800 as a given. For the record, Chasseur d’Images only has one issue coming out in summer, for the two months of July and August, and they’ve been quite vocal in the past about how information embargo is killing the technology press in favor of web sites. My guess is they are realizing they will miss the announcement at the beginning of September, and wanted to include a teaser in their summer issue.”
