Nikon D4 and D400 Due Next Month

June 28, 2011 By Eric Reagan

In what could be the biggest camera launch of the year, one of Nikon Rumors’ sources has tipped the launch of the Nikon D4 and D400 for August.

Given the coming Sony A77 with a 24MP sensor, it is most likely that the D400 will sport the same 24MP APS-C sensor but labeled with the ubiquitous “Developed by Nikon” asterisk seen in recent Nikon pro-DSLR specs.  The D400 will almost certainly feature 1080p video to follow the recent trend of Nikon DSLRs.  Hopefully, the D400 will avoid the cumbersome aperture adjustment problem that made the Nikon D7000 more frustrating for video capture.

As for the Nikon D4, [Read more…]

More Nikon D3x and D4 Rumors

October 23, 2008 By Eric Reagan

Over at a German Canikon community, a forum poster says he’s got some new rumors on a D3 replacement from Nikon (via Google Translate):

The latest information from the NPS say that environments later this year or likely D3x Nikon Nikon D4 and announced no later than the Nikon Solution in February also will be available. It will be a resolution of 24, x MP in a series of image speed of 5-6 pictures. The new D3 is to replace and not run parallel what astonished me first and also excited.

Nikon Press Event Bumped to November 20

October 15, 2008 By Eric Reagan

After a bit of confusion about who will see what and when, Kamera & Bild seems to have sorted things out and confirmed that Nikon’s press conference will be a worldwide event that takes place on November 20 (rather than October 22).  Kamera & Bild’s guesswork translates as follows:

Why the date of the press conference changed, we have not been told. Perhaps the product has been delayed, or the Nikon in Denmark had the time wrong.

Note, however, that the November 20 date, which is a Thursday, appears to be a solid, confirmed date.

Keep your eyes peeled for the Nikon MX format and/or Nikon D3x.

Nikon Press Conference on October 22 Could Be “BIG”

October 14, 2008 By Eric Reagan

Seems Nikon’s BIG news may be out of the bag rather soon – say, October 22?  According to Zoom, Nikon has given notice of a press release for October 22, which will take place in Copenhagen, Denmark. If true, I imagine we’ll be hearing more from other parts of the world soon.

Nikon’s product secrecy has a terrible track record lately and I wouldn’t be surprise to see this next product leak out in the next few days.

What do you think?  Is it the Nikon MX format?  Is it the Nikon D3x?  Is it something else?  Or are we all having our legs pulled?

More Nikon Big Rumors

October 1, 2008 By Eric Reagan

Nikon Rumors just keeps cranking out the goods with another Nikon ad, purportedly from Japan.  Either NR has a solid source for leaks or someone is playing a “big” prank on them.

It certainly has a sexy figure if that’s the shape of the next new camera from Nikon…

Also, see past posts on the first leaked ad, Nikon MX format and the “Big” news from Nikon.

Nikon “Big” Ad

September 30, 2008 By Eric Reagan

Nikon Rumors came up with the above image, which is purportedly from a Nikon ad in Japan.  The Japanese letters are believe to translate as “big”.

I don’t think that’s an MF sensor, which seems a little inconsistent with the previous “Big” and “MX format” rumors.  Although, those two things could be separate I suppose.  If this is legit, it seems like it would be the Nikon 24MP camera that we’ve been hearing about for a while.

What do you think?

Nikon’s BIG News

August 22, 2008 By Eric Reagan

Something BIG is coming from Nikon.  In a not-so-subtle ad that Nikon placed in Rangerfinder Magazine, Nikon notes that it’s got some “BIG” news for wedding and portrait photographers, which it plans on bringing along the MGM Grand Arena at WPPI in February 2009.

Additionally, the ad reveals that Nikon will unveil the BIG news “next month.”  I can’t imagine that this boastful ad could be a reference to anything other than the 24+ megapixel Nikon D3x (or whatever it will be called) announcement at Photokina 2008, which will obviously be shown off to WPPI attendees at the BIG advertised event next February.

What do you think?

Nikon Press Conference Sept. 3rd?

July 17, 2008 By Eric Reagan

Nikon Rumors has received word from a reader that Nikon will be holding a press conference on September 3rd, which would add up to the pre-Photokina announcement that we’ve all been expecting.

Anyone else received an invite from Nikon?

Nikon D3x and D90 Updates

July 16, 2008 By Eric Reagan

Thom Hogan has piped up on bythom.com with some thoughts and possible insider info on the coming Nikon D3x and D90 cameras.  Word is that a D3x with the rumored 24+ megapixels should be announced around Photokina in September.  The D80 replacement (the D90) may creep out past Photokina (perhaps PMA 2009).

I received a message out of Japan that the high-resolution camera is in the D3 body. I trust that message more than my guess, though please note that having one (usually good) source does not mean something is verified. . . .  It seems that a D80 replacement should also be in that set of announcements, which should come just before Photokina, but we just haven’t seen any of the kinds of leaks and rumors we have with previous consumer bodies out of Thailand, so maybe the D80 replacement is going to be later than Photokina.

I don’t have any insider info myself; however, my money is on a for sure showing of the D3x (or whatever they call it) at Photokina.  I’m also starting to wonder whether or not Nikon will replace the Nikon D80 at all.  I’m beginning to think that they’ll let the D40/D60 line handle the entry-level consumer and let the D70/D80 line die off.
