Canon 5D Mark II: “Nikon and Sony are going to shit their pants”

By [NR] admin | Published: September 12, 2008
“I’ve been playing with the new “5D Mark II” for the last month and I have to say, both Nikon and Sony are going to shit their pants. Yeah yeah, I know, I’m biased, but seriously, it’s good.”
Nikon cannot afford not to release a new camera @ Photokina.

Megavision and Nikon

Another one from dpreview:
“It’s now an open secret that Megavision will be unveiling some interesting new cameras at Photokina that are FF (11 and 16 megapixels), with EVF and a Nikon F mount.”

Anyone knows more about this “open secret”?

New Nikon D60 “Special Edition”? Already? (updated)

By [NR] admin | Published: September 10, 2008
Reading this dpreview post:
“I work at a retail camera store and noticed a new stock number pop up last night. It was for “Nikon D60 Black Gold Body Only.” It listed the Nikon part # as 25459. It was not ‘shielded’ or ‘hidden’ as stock numbers sometimes are before announcements. The price was listed at $649.99, $50 more than the standard D60 body.”
Black gold? Curious to see how this one will play out. Suggested changes from the comments section:
  • weather proofing
  • live view
  • larger screen
  • new lens combo
Nikon D60 kit currently sells for $599 @ Amazon.
Anyone working in Circuit City or Best Buy, can you please check the inventory for some “Black Gold”?
