Another Nikon Expo, this time in Russia

Nikon Russia will participate in the 14th St.Petersburg PhotoFair, which will be held from 15 to 18 October 2009. The schedule of workshops and presentations is similar to the Nikon show in France (Google translation is below, for original link in Russian click here) and includes “Presentation of the new products” which of course could be the D300s […]

There will be another camera announced, but not Nikon D700x/D700s

I have no reliable information that Nikon will release a D700s/D700x camera on October 15 (the actual release date may vary +/- one day based on your location). It also doesn’t make sense to release two PRO level cameras at the same time – I know, D3 was announced with the D300 two years ago […]

Nikon show in Malaysia

UPDATE: blow-up of the image (thanks E.C.) – hard to tell what camera this is but as some have already suggested this image is not new and I think I have seen it already somewhere: There is also a Nikon show in Malaysia from October 14th-18th, 2009 described as “Nikon’s highlight event for the year”. […]

What will happen on October 15th according to Nikon France? (Nikon D3s)

As I mentioned previously the Nikon D3s is expected to be announced on October 15th, 2009 and today Nikon France kind of told us the same thing: they have scheduled multiple events during the Paris Expo and if you download the program (pdf file) you will see that they have several “Présentation nouveau reflex” which […]

Nikon D3s: bits and pieces

UPDATE: the Nikon D3s may have a new 1.3x crop mode. I don’t know about this rumor (anonymous email), but here it is – the Nikon D3s looks much better already (if those are true of course): Nikon D3s with ISO 200-12800 (D3 was with ISO 200-6400) New ISO range HI-3 at 102,400 ISO 12.1 […]

Scratch that, Nikon D3s now @ 99% probability

D3s Ok, rumors are flying fast this weekend – now I can say that the Nikon D3s has a 99% release probability. Still waiting on confirmations for the lens(es). Expected announcement date: October 15th, 2009. As reported previously, some of the Nikon D3s “improvements” will be 14fps and full 1080p HD video.

“Rumor has it… based on a true rumor”

Based on the stars alignment and the moon phase, I am now 75% confident about a Nikon announcement during the second week of October. Expected is a Nikon D3 refresh (probably called Nikon D3s – not sure yet) and at least a Nikon AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR lens. I expect the official press invitations […]

Some news from Poland and Korea

NPS Poland has a special offer/price for Nikon D3 (for members only). The interesting part: the offer is valid until October 7th, 2009. Is Nikon trying to clear its D3 stock (remember this post)? I also received a report that Nikon dealers in Poland cannot order the AF 85/1.4D lens (currently in stock in the […]
