where there’s smoke there’s fire

• Nikon pulled the site with the Nikon D300s LCD screen image few hours after my post. Today all images from the histogram article were replaced with D5000 LCD screenshots.
• It appears that the Nikon D300s will have a new histogram zoom feature (selects only certain area of the frame and displays the histogram) which is obvious from the rest of the Nikon D300s screenshots from the same site which I did not publish yesterday:

• All leaked Nikon D300s LCD screenshots seems to be in 16:9 ratio. It is hard for me to believe that the actual LCD screen will be with a 16:9 ratio (maybe it can be set to display in 16:9 mode or the images are just cropped that way) – here is the current histogram from a D5000 from the same site for comparison:

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%.
