The release probability of the Nikon D600 for Photokina is now at 99%. Here is an updated list of the specifications (new additions in bold):
Chipwors confirmed that the 36MP sensor (IMX094AQP) inside the Nikon D800 is made by Sony. The interesting part is that Sony decided to use a 24MP chip in their upcoming top of the line A99 full frame camera that will be priced at $2,800.
In addition to the D600, for Photokina 2012 Nikon will announce also a new Nikkor 1 18.5mm f/1.8 mirrorless lens (50mm equivalent). The lens will have one aspherical element. I believe the new lens will look like the pictured Nikon 1 concept prime lens that was on display at the PDN show in New York last year.
Adobe’s latest release candidates contain several updates for Nikon equipment:
| Lens Mount | Lens Name |
| Nikon | Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR |
| Nikon | Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5G ED VR |

FYI: Lightroom 4 is now part of Adobe Creative Cloud (subscription is still available for the intro offer of $29.99 per month for qualified customers).
Nikon issued a compatibility update for the various Nikon software packages with the latest Mac OS 10.8 Mountain Lion:
The price of the Nikon D7000 dropped to $996.95 on Amazon (free 16GB SanDisk card and a backpack also included).
There is also a big dsicount on the Nikon 1 V1 mirrorless camera: $596.95 (original price: $899):
Those price drops could be related to the new September Nikon instant rebates and not because of an upcoming replacement:
