Photokina ’08

By [NR] admin | Published: September 28, 2008
Photokina is next week from September 23 – 28.
I am still hoping for a Monday announcement, but everything is so quiet that I am loosing hope.
For our readers who will be visiting the show – enjoy and don’t forget to send us info/pictures/rumors that you find interesting and I will post them on the blog for the rest of us to see. Thanks!
If you want to have some fun, go and take a picture in front of the Nikon booth with NR or NikonRumors.com written on a piece of paper, hat, T-shirt, your forehead… be creative but don’t do anything illegal (fyi public nudity is not forbidden in Germany: “Police in Cologne, Germany, opted not to arrest a woman who walked into a supermarket this past summer wearing nothing but an unbuttoned denim jacket”).
It will be an exciting week!

Nikon MX picture (warning: tiny picture)

By [NR] admin | Published: September 28, 2008
I have one small picture of what I believe could be the next Nikon MX camera.
Here it is – the first one on the left (for comparison purposes I added pictures of Nikon D3 prototype, real Nikon D3, D700 and Nikon F6 to the right):
The size of the prism and the mount on that “thing” appears to be way bigger than the other full frame Nikon models. I am working on getting a high resolution picture which will hopefully reveal more details.
Here is full picture of the Nikon D3 prototype – you can clearly see the difference in the prism size:
Disclaimer: this could be an old Nikon prototype or may not be related at all to Nikon MX. It could be Nikon D4, Nikon D800, Nikon F7, it could be an UFO, the next Canon with a Nikon label, whatever. I don’t know for sure. I can only assure you that it’s not fake. The source is very reliable. That’s all I got for now.

CBS/NCIS is playing tricks with NikonRumors (Nikon D500 transformation)

By [NR] admin | Published: September 28, 2008

A reader sent me this ad and for a moment this Nikon D500 strap looked promising:

Unfortunately the mirrored view tells us a different story – CBS is playing tricks with NikonRumors:

This ad was taken from http://www.cbs.com/primetime/ncis/ – this could also be a prank, since I could not find it anywhere.

According to some, the BIG event will be about a new wide-format printer. He also claims that development of an FX-format SPX rangefinder is underway.
