I thought I was done for this year but then I came across those charts for the best selling DSLR in Japan for this year. I think this is a good way to end 2008.
There is also something important that I forgot in my previous post:

I am very excited… I stared NikonRumors back in May. Eight months later we have: 508 posts, 10,107 real comments, 4,932 spam comments and over 1 million unique visitors…
A BIG THANK YOU to everyone – I’ve said it many times before: this site is a community effort and I could not have done it without your contributions.
Here is a look back – the most viewed items in 2008 (most visited posts on top):
Of course I had several screw ups, busted rumors, spelling mistakes, etc. but who cares.
What will come in 2009: some sweepstakes, maybe a forum, some lens reviews (first in line: Tokina AT-X 116 PRO DX) and of course more rumors. If you have some other ideas drop me a line.
Happy New Year! Stay safe and remember – send them if you get them.
Somebody at dpreview thinks that way:
“This probably is what is causing the varied results people are getting from the new 50/1.4 G.”
Is there a problem with the new Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.4G Lens? I was not aware of that.
Here is a pamphlet from Nikon on their Environmentally Sound Optical Glass.
Can eco-glass be as good as regular glass (Nikon claims so)? Is eco-glass = recycled glass?
fyi – I do believe in recycling and I am happy that Nikon does too.
Clarification on a earlier post (Is Scott Kelby joking?) – I don’t think anyone took this seriously, but I have to clear his name, especially after… he got a call from Nikon. Read the whole story at his blog.
The good part from all this is that Nikon is reading this blog – so we all have a direct line to “God”. Let’s use it wisely!
In the post Nikon products in 2009 many readers expressed concerns that Nikon may slow down their imaging development and new product releases in 2009 because of the current economical crisis.
Nikon’s net sales and income estimates for Q1 and Q2 of 2009 does not look so bad (source). In fact, if you see this chart, you would not know that we are in a nasty recession (maybe they have not updated it lately?):
Has anyone seen any official statement from Nikon regarding the current economy and their financial estimates for 2009? Since Nikon stock is not traded in the US, I could not find any relevant/reliable info.
Sigma Corporation of America is pleased to announce first availability of the new Sigma APO 200-500mm F2.8 EX DG super telezoom lens for Nikon.
This amazing new lens which has been available for Canon cameras will arrive next week in a model for Nikon cameras. Quantities will be limited. Sigma dealers can order this lens immediately.
