The French Magazine Réponses Photo will be delayed for more than a week this month (release date will be September 23):

The interesting part is that Sony, Panasonic and Leica already made their official announcements for Photokina. Canon is still teasing their fans and Nikon is the only silent major player. Ok we still have Olympus, Pentax, Samsung, etc. but who is buying those cameras anyway (joke)? Are they really worth delaying a magazine for? Do they know something we don’t?

Last time when a German magazine was delayed was because of the D700.

Comment in a forum

NR received a forum comment made by someone who was correct before in terms of predicting future announcement. This individual is also known to be a tester for a major company. I agree not to reveal the country or the name of this person. This is what he/she said and I am quoting the translation submitted to NR by a reader:

-No Nikon digiback for current cameras

-Nikon will release new system, with new lenses and new viewfinders

That’s all I got.

Because this was a comment made in a forum, I don’t think it’s a publicity stunt or a way to attract traffic.

Why would someone bother reporting this and ask to keep everything anonymous if it is not true?

Check the Modular Camera and Digital Rangefinder sections for more related rumors.

Is this D90 video real?

This is supposed to be a Nikon D90 video. Is it really that bad? Here is the direct link. There is a whole thread about the “jello effect” aka “rolling shutter issue” @ dpreview.
