Nikon rep on what’s next

By [NR] admin | Published: September 20, 2008

I generally don’t trust Nikon reps. They just don’t know. Most of the times their answer is always “buy now, nothing better is coming anytime soon” – this is their job. I’ve heard of only 2 cases where Nikon reps had an advance knowledge of upcoming products and both cases were about a point and […]

Nikon D3x for sale down under

By [NR] admin | Published: September 18, 2008

The result is “in stock” and “back ordered” for US and gray market respectively. What is the difference between “out of stock” and “back-ordered”? Is B&H telling us that they will no longer […]

No announcement today. Last chance on Monday before Photokina. Besides the earlier hoax, those are the rumors for today: Photoextract (a photo sharing site) has Nikon D800 listed on its camera list.

BIG! (busted)

By [NR] admin | Published: September 17, 2008

Update: this rumor got busted! The source admitted that it was a hoax (he got banned from this blog already). There was not much I could do – this is a rumor site after all and if you read the comments to this post, you will find out that this was not such a crazy […]
