Thom Hogan’s 2009 Nikon predictions

Here are the main points: “Something not called D3x” – in late 2008 or early 2009. Oops, I just wrote in my last post that the next D3 will be called D3x. I still stand behind my sources. New Nikon D60 in spring of 2009. “A limited edition Nikon: likely a D3 sensor in an […]
