Another Nikon press conference is scheduled for August 4th in Hotel Sacher, Vienna, Austria (same place where the Nikon D5000 was announced). After all, we will have two pressconferences in a row this time. A Nikon event is scheduled also in Sweden on the same date. This second event is probably for the Coolpix cameras.

Nikon rumors and expectations for next week (recap)

By [NR] admin | Published: July 24, 2009

This is a recap of what is expected from Nikon next week. All of this information has already been posted here on NikonRumors. If you have missed some of the posts or are a new reader – enjoy (click on image for larger view):

Nikon press conference is expected on July 29 (UK) and/or July 30th (Sweden). There was a second date announced for Sweden – August 4th. The second date may be for point and shoot cameras or the other way around.
Nikon D300s is expected to be announced next week – click here for the full specs.

Nkon D300s screen leaked on Nikon USA website – new histogram options and SD card support are obvious:

Several Nikon Coolpix compact cameras are expected – at least one will be with a built-in projector.
Nikon D3000 is also expected – an entry level camera, similar to the D5000 but without the video mode:

Lenses are always a tough call – if we get the AF-S DX Nikkor 17 to 65 mm f/3.2-4G ED VR lens, we will know that the leaked Nikon roadmap 2009-2010 is real. Otherwise 24mm f/1.4, 35mm f/1.4 and 70-200mm f/2.8 are high on the rumors list.

All of the above, except the D3000 rumor, were NikonRumors exclusive.

By [NR] admin | Published: July 21, 2009

Update: for unknown to me reason, the “official Best Buy twitter feed” does not exists any longer.

This is coming from the official Best Buy twitter feed, not sure how they came up with the September date – maybe this is when the Nikon D300s will be available in their stores:
