“High-end P&S camera above the P6000 that will use the 10mp APS sensor from the D60 “

By [NR] admin | Published: July 20, 2008
 
This was submitted as a comment to the previous post (that way the reader remains anonymous):
 
“I decided to post this here instead of emailing Nikon Rumors so I can keep my anonymity and my job. I work at a high-end camera store and Friday of last week our Nikon rep came into our store and gave us a bit of information about a brand new Nikon P&S camera. The P6000 is coming and it will have RAW and higher resolution. However, he said that Nikon is coming out with a high-end P&S camera above the P6000 that will use the 10mp APS sensor from the D60 and be geared toward pros and serious enthusiasts. This is a DEFINITE FACT, no B.S. We could not get anymore info out of him as far as body design, or lens focal length. We’ll just have to wait and see. He did say that he is pretty sure it will be announced at or before Photokina.”

First Nikon D700 on ebay

By [NR] admin | Published: July 18, 2008


I thought ebay is an auction site – what does “pre-sale” mean? For a specific person? I will file this under Humor-Rumor.

Nikon D90 specs

By [NR] admin | Published: July 17, 2008
Update: this rumor got busted.

I am not sure if those specs are the real deal – I found them on dpreview:

An APS-C sized 12.2 megapixel cmos sensor with liveview capabilities. 
Continuous shooting rated at 4 fps for 38 large/fine jpegs. 
The same viewfinder as the d80. 
A new 3″ LCD display with 230,000 pixels (same as Nikon coolpix s52c) 
anti-dust facilities (sensor shake only, no airflow control from the d60) 
New Expeed processing. (i don’t see how that will help) 
ISO sensitivity same as d80 (100-1600+3200),But lower noise. 
Liveview system identical to d300,d700,d3. 
In camera retouching. 
Same 3d color matrix metering II (420 pixel sensor) 
The Nikon d90 may also be sold with a new dx lens the 18-105 vr lens 
the price will be around 1300$ us with that kit. 
Should I add a poll?

Nikon D3 buffer upgraded?

By [NR] admin | Published: July 17, 2008

This was submitted by a reader in Germany (thanks R.)

Go to http://www.nikon-muenchen.de/deutsch/318/26/117001/susy%7CD3_Buffer_FirmUp_De01.pdf/download.html

Do you see something unusual on the first page?

I didn’t.

Than it was explained to me that the memory buffer was increased for the current D3 model without making too much noise:

nikonusa.com D3 brochure, page 20: Buffer capacity 18, 12bit NEF

above german link: after the upgrade Buffer capacity 43, 12bit NEF

Preparing for the D3x?
