And you thought the 5D Mark II had too many pixels. Well a do-it-yourselfer has taken an old HP Scanner and used the spare parts to make a 130-megapixel digital camera. How’s that for a weekend project?
This image showing the LCD screen of what is clearly a Nikon D300s was purportedly taken from the official Nikon USA site (it’s down now).

These validity of this rumor just increased to all-but-official and we should be seeing a replacement for the Nikon D300 anytime now.
