More Nikon D3x and D4 Rumors

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. [...]

Nikon D3x Rumors Continue

Yet another forum poster (this time AVForums) has claimed to have to goods on the much rumored Nikon D3x:
Went to dinner with Nikon this week.
The Nikon D3X is due in December 08.
Again, the 24MP number was tossed out there, which shouldn’t come as a surprise given that the D3x is expected to share the Sony [...]

Nikon Press Event Bumped to November 20

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 [...]

Nikon Press Conference on October 22 Could Be “BIG”

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 [...]

Nikon D3x Rumor Rekindled

It’s been a while since we’ve heard any rumblings about a D3x.  I was beginning to think those rumors had died off in favor of the Nikon MX format rumors.
Not so fast, says a Nikon USA’s PR department through what I’m sure is solid 3rd hand info at DPR forums…

24.4 megapixels
9 frames per second
Full frame [...]

Canon 1Ds Mark IV

There are only three certainties in life – death, taxes and rumors of new cameras.  Hence the latest rumor of a Canon 1Ds Mark IV around the corner.  Picked up on the photofans.cn forum via Slashgear.
Rumored specs include:

CMOS size 36×24mm
21 megapixels
ISO 25-12800 (expandable to ISO 10, 25600, 51200)
69-point AF EAC technology (do not know what [...]

More Big Nikon Teasers – Lenses

I’m starting to get a bad feeling regarding the credibility of this series of “leaks“.  This third “ad” appearing on Nikon Rumors seems to be some edited photos of existing PC lenses (see comments on NR’s post for evidence).  If that’s the case, then this whole series appears to be busted.
Now, let’s go back to [...]

More Nikon Big Rumors

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 [...]

Nikon D500 to Replace D300

15.1 megapixels
24 fps video

Nikon “Big” Ad

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 [...]
