Written by Eric from http://www.photographybay.com/ on February 9th, 2009 | 9 Comments

I was checking to see if anything had surfaced on the Nikon D400 and I noticed that an “exact match” (when you put your search term in quotes) search for “Nikon D400″ produced a number of new stories about the rumored camera, but also revealed that legitimate retailers, like B&H Photo, Adorama and Amazon.com, are [...]

PMA 2009 rumors sure are heating up, as we get more “reliable” rumors of a Nikon D700x / D800 release.  Presumably, this will be the rumored high-megapixel junior sibling to the D3x – in the same way the D700 relates to the D3.
Here’s one site’s purportedly reliable info on the new D700x / D800:

Canon 500D and 1D Mark IIIn Update

Written by Eric from http://www.photographybay.com/ on February 2nd, 2009 | 0 Comments

A short but direct post on POTN, claims that a “Canon Rep” mentioned a new Rebel and Mark III would be coming to PMA 2009.

A screen shot of what purports to be an inventory system displaying the Canon 1D Mark IIIn surfaced on DPR forums today.

[via NR]
Nikon Rumors picked up a photo of a woman shooting with an undisclosed Nikon camera.  The speculation surrounding the image suggests it could be a Nikon D400.
There’s a piece of gaffer tape over the Nikon label below the hot shoe.
Anyone want to debunk this “spy shot”?
