Done deal: multiple press events scheduled in Europe for August 19th, 2010

By [NR] admin | Published: August 4, 2010

What I reported back in July, now has a probability of 99%: Nikon has scheduled multiple press events across Europe for August 19th, 2010. I am still a bit puzzled about the Coolpix cameras announcement that is suppose to be on August 17th, 2010. In the past, Nikon aways announced the p&s line one week before or after […]
