I received those 2 pictures today with the text “Nikon D400 is new 24.4 MP body will be released on
November 20th.” The email was sent from outside the US (do not want to mention the country, just in case this turns out to be real).
The original EXIF data (included after each picture) indicates that those snapshots were taken with a camera phone Nokia N70 on July 25, 2008 (?). I doubt that a camera phone will have such a debt of field – take a look at the text on the box. In addition the box says Mac OS 10.4.x, we are now up to 10.5.5. Adobe Photoshop CS2 was used as well?
I am 99% sure those are fake, but I will still publish them for the 1% chance that they may be real. If nothing else, I found those entertaining. They did a good job on the “4” – see the D40 label here.
