Nikon D700 will get “bundled” before replacement

The French magazine Chasseur d’Image (in English) reports that Nikon will start giving Capture NX for free with every Nikon D700 purchase (my guess is that this combo will be valid only in France): “In contrast, the D700 will soon be rewarded with a very attractive bundle, including Capture NX, which thereby becomes free time promotion.

Here is a general translation of […]

Crystal Ball, originally uploaded by deanfotos66. Popular Photography named the Nikon D3X as its camera of the year for 2009. In the same article they mentioned: “Our crystal ball tells us the D3x’s 24.5MP sensor is likely to show up in a consumer model soon.” Not sure how accurate their crystal ball is.
