The magic will happen tonight – I will be moving NR to a new home. You may experience some down time and the email system may not be working for few hours. Be patient – it can only get better.

I have been working on the blog transfer in the past few days and have not followed up on some of the latest rumors. This is what you missed:

• Prices of Nikon DSLR went up @ B&H. In the new blog I will have a whole new section of price tracking.

• I got few confirmations from new owners on new D300 firmware ver. 1.10.

• A lot of buzz about Nikon D3x due this December. Links: here and here.

• Email from a reader: “my Nikon Dealer ask me today if 12 MP are enough for me or if I want to get more, like 24 MP. The new cam will be announced soon and that time the first samples shall be available too …. and luck me, I am already listed as one of the preferred customer to get my hands on on one of this samples“.

• I got some hints about the possibility of a new digital Nikonos, but it seems that this is still in early development and we may not see it any time soon. At that point I would not consider this as a serious rumor – this is like 3rd hand information.

• Costco apparently dropped Nikon D300 from their inventory (source). Why would they do this before the holiday shopping season (or they may not be one this year)?
