where there’s smoke there’s fire

Here is the full text of the leaked 2009-2010 Nikon roadmap (Google translation from the same source):

“A man working in England at the Kingston branch of a large IT company.
The company has said in charge of infrastructure and software of Nikon UK, particularly in the training center, but not in it.
So I will continue to draw … just said to get out 37-page set of notes with strategic Nikon
for the years 2009-2010. I can not confirm its authenticity, perhaps it’s just a joke and invention at any level,
but 37 pages is quite enough to give you someone such work with its smuggling. There are also
information that is not interesting to anyone outside, respectively. they can not even understand. File Structure
poskládaným is rather a set of different information and comments than any učesaným document or presentation.
The following are statements which relate to innovations in the area of D-SLR:
