… July 30th and August 4th. Double whammy? Maybe D300s on July 30 and D4000 on August 4th (300->3, 4000->4). Stay tuned – I am sure I will be getting more confirmations from around the world in the next few days.
This news comes from Nikon Nordic and the event will be held in Stockholm, Sweden.
The above lenses are all gray market (one lens is a demo?).
After Australia and Canada, Nikon has also a rebate program in France valid till june 30th.
UPDATE: this rumos is busted, in Australia the rebate is only valid for the D5000. No rebate for the D90.
Just a small update: the rebate program in Australia will include also the Nikon D90. It should be official on Monday.
NR rating: 85%
Should I say BREAKING NEWS: I just received this – a picture of Nikon D300s LCD screen?
The image was taken from an official Nikon USA site. Note also the date: May 14, 2009 – this picture is new!
Update: note also the SD card logo on the lower left side of the screen – dual card support (the initial Nikon D300s specs were correct).
Here are some screenshots of the actual Nikon D300 LCD screen – it clearly says D300, not D300s: dpreview & digitalreview
Let’s see how long it will take Nikon to remove this picture.
What do you guys think? I say Nikon D300s release probability just jumped to 99%.
Nikon Service Point Munchen is sold out of Nikon D300 (Ausverkauft = sold out):
They used to sell them on eBay as “final sale”, but now everything is gone.
I got some information about an upcoming Nikon D5000 rebate in Australia (valid: June 15 – July 30, 2009):
D5000 Body Only : A$ 100
D5000 + any AFS lens: A$ 150
D5000 + 18-55VR +55-200VR: A$ 200
Nikon D5000 was released less than two months ago.
There is also a report that the Nikon D5000, D3 and D3x prices were reduced in Canada at the beginning of this month:
Nikon D5000 + 18-55VR +55-200VR for C$ 999 (C$ 60 less than the original price)
Nikon D3 and Nikon D3x: C$ 250 rebate
