Update: nikonrumors.net will be activated only when nikonrumors.com is down.

In the past few weeks we had several technical issues with the hosting of nikonrumors.com.

On some days we got more than 30000 visits.

To ensure uninterrupted coverage we now have a mirror site hosted by Google (Blogger).

The mirror URL is

http://www.nikonrumors.net/

For now we will run both blogs simultaneously – if nikonrumors.com is down, simply go to nikonrumors.net or the other way around. The content will be the same with few seconds delay.

Unfortunately we could not export all comments and we just have to live with that.

We are still interested to know which design you like better. Here is the poll:

Thank you for helping us make this blog better!

Thanks Derek!!!

Update (from Derek again):

“In the video of the D700 the guy (chief product of Nikon France) says the D700 have only 95% visor.
At the question why they put 95% visor and no 100% into the D700 he said : when the D3 comes out the people says why he don’t have an anti dust system? So Nikon make the D700 with an anti dust system but it take 5% of the visor.”
