Few images from Nikon advertisement in Germany. The first one is from Nikon’s official web site in Germany (main front page):
I don’t know where this one is from but it is also in German:
Again, the third Nikon ad is not for corporate surfers – open at your own risk.
Do you think those are fake? The ads I mean…

See for yourself: Nikon D3x vs. Sony A900 (ISO100 to ISO6400 ISO samples accompanied with 100% cropped samples). This should put an end to the “Nikon D3x sensor – made by Sony, designed by Nikon” discussion.
Update:
The good news is that the DSLR ad is real… the bad news: it is for the Nikon D80 (source – thanks for the link Daf):
I guess they really did use that slogan. No info on the lenses… yet.
Original post:
This shot was supposedly taken from an advertising agency (submitted by a reader). The lenses are interesting – completely different design (click for larger image). I cannot identify the body either – look at the dial button and the curve of the pop-up flash. Any ideas? I also doubt that Nikon will go with this slogan: “You always said it would be worth waiting a bit longer before buying a digital SLR. Clever old you”. What do you guys think?

Nikon D400
MSRP $1,999.00
Key Features:
If anyone still cares – the Nikon D3x chip is made by Sony:
“The Nikon D3X’s 24.5-megapixel FX-format (35.9 x 24.0mm) CMOS sensor was developed expressly for the D3X in accordance with Nikon’s stringent engineering requirements and performance standards, with final production executed by Sony. Featuring refined low-noise characteristics, 12 and 14 bit output, Live View capability and more, the D3X’s unique sensor design was carefully blueprinted to perform in perfect concert with proprietary Nikon technologies including EXPEED Image Processing and the Scene Recognition System. Meticulous efforts allowed the sensor to become one of the many essential components and technologies which contribute to the D3X’s superior image fidelity.”
