Engadget is reporting that they were contacted after the onslaught of rumors appeared on the web by a “photo editor at a major newspaper” with some inside info on the Nikon D3 (or whatever it will be called), state that:
[he] has tipped us on a phone call he received from Nikon in which his presence was requested at a meeting where a “new professional camera that is leaps and bounds better than anything Canon is offering” would be showcased.
Those are some pretty big words coming from a source that is presumably more reliable that what we’ve seen in the forums over the past few months. I guess will know in a little less than two weeks.
