After spending almost an hour trying to translate the few cryptic sentences I received, the final word on the lenses release date is “in few days”. We know for sure that Nikon has a press events scheduled in multiple countries on February 3rd, 2010. We also know that the new Coolpixes will be announced on that event. This means that all Nikon websites will be updated with the new products around midnight on February 2nd (tomorrow). I am still not sure if this will be the event for the new lenses or there will be a separate release date – the time frame “in few days” doesn’t tell us much (unfortunately, I do not have any contact info on that source).
Anyway, the lenses are coming for sure before PMA.
