Nikon “booster kit” deal for D300 in France

By [NR] admin | Published: October 22, 2008

According to this site “Nikon is launching a campaign until December, to make a gift of 499 Euros if you buy a D300. The manufacturer offers in effect the “booster kit”, ie a handful vertical with battery EL-EN4 of D3 professional SLR” (Google translation). This should increase the burst rate to 8 frames per second and should make the D300 more attractive compared to the D90 (hey this is not my opinion, so keep me out of the D300 vs. D90 discussion).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No mentioning whether this would be a world-wide event, but this is the fourth rumor of an upcoming Nikon rebate program (see here, here and here).

Sponsor: Amazon: no payments, no interest for 12 months on select camera, photo & video products.

Nikon D3x (D4) available by February next year according to a German forum

By [NR] admin | Published: October 22, 2008

This is a post in a german forum:

There are new rumors. New information from someone near NPS says that there will be a Nikon D3x or more likely a Nikon D4 announced this year which we could buy latest in February next year. Resolution will be 24,x MP with a burst of 5 to 6 fps. The new camera should replace the D3 it´s not going to be sold parallel.

This is interesting because it matches the November 20th event and the BIG February announcement.
