In addition to the D5300 (see updated specs), Nikon will also announce the AF-S Nikkor 58mm f/1.4G lens I mentioned yesterday. The new lens will have nano coating and excellent sharpness and micro contrast even wide open.

It seems that in few hours Nikon will announce the D5300 DSLR camera. The above picture comes from Digicame-info which usually posts leaked images shortly before the official announcement. Here again are the rumored Nikon D5300 specifications:
Update – few more D5300 specs:

Update: the posts referring the AF-S Nikkor 58mm f/1.4G lens were removed from Pixelistes website shortly after my post.
The admin of the French forum Pixelistes mentioned few days ago that he held in his hands a new full frame Nikon lens that will be announced in the next few days. In another post later last week he reported that the new lens will be a Nikkor 58mm f/1.4 that would weigh 385g and will have 9 elements in 6 groups with a 9-blade diaphragm. The price is supposed to be € 1,789 (around $2,400) and shipping should start on October 31th.
Do you remember the Android based Polaroid IM1836 interchangeable lens camera that looked very much like the Nikon 1 J1/J2 models? Even the 30-110mm lens looked identical to the Nikkor 1 30-110mm f/3.8-5.6. Nikon also thinks that Sakar/Polaroid ripped their Nikon 1 camera design and filed today a lawsuit in the U.S. for design patent and trade dress infringement. Here is the full text of the Nikon’s news release:
Update: the price of the lens is $899.
The Sigma 24-105mm f/4 DG OS HSM is one of the rumored new DSLR lenses to be announced in 2014 and yesterday we got the first picture of the new lens. The basic specs are: 82mm filter, weigh of 885 grams, lens design: 19 elements in 14 groups (for comparison the Nikon 24-120mm f/4 weights 710g and has 17 elements in 13 groups).
I just received information that the Sigma 24-105mm f/4 DG OS HSM lens is already listed on Sigma’s website:
