Blog update

This is the last post on this topic – from tomorrow I will concentrate again on Nikon Rumors content.

I have been reading all of your feedback on the new site and I have fixed most of the issues. I still have few minor changes pending, so please be patient.

I have many ideas about NR. I may have to shut down or sell LeicaRumors.com in order to concentrate on Nikon. LeicaRumors was more like a hobby.

Email and RSS are working again – they are now located on the top bar.

I am still not sure if I can use the red triangle/swoosh – I could not find any info whether this is Nikon’s trademark or not. I may contact Nikon directly and ask them.

Thank you all for your support and suggestions!

Nikon D800 will have video

There is a post on a very popular photography forum where somebody claims to be under NDS agrement with Nikon – the post was very casual and did not reveal any upcoming Nikon products.

After I went through the post history of the same person, I found some interesting info: in another post the same person claims that we will see a new version of the D3 and Nikon D800 next year. Both models will have higher megapixel count and the D800 will have a video as well.

I will not reveal the name of this person or forum name – I do not want him to get in trouble, but trust me it is out there.

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