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.

New rumors have surfaced over at Nikon Rumors regarding the Nikon MX Format. Although no sources or specific information has been revealed, NR is reporting that they’ve heard some things through the grapevine about the MX Format’s arrival.
The biggest rumor of the bunch is a possible March 2009 announcement and availability date. Also news on the sensor development and the shocker that the Leica S2 gave to Nikon’s MX dev team.
Oh yeah, NR says they may have a photo coming soon as well.

Nikon Rumors just got a huge scoop of info, which if it turns out to be legit, means for a “big” shake-up for Photokina. Here’s a list of “confirmed” Nikon MX format lenses:

Several rumors have been circulating over the past several weeks that Canon will release a video-capable DSLR near Photokina. RED recently let us in on its development plans for a DSLR replacement camera.
Yesterday, RED pushed the button a little harder stating:
While (insert code name) is not a replacement for Epic or Scarlet, it is strategically targeted at the DSLR space. As Nikon and Canon release their 720P and 1080P, respectively, DSLRs with video capture… RED has a more advanced view of the future. We look forward to rapidly pushing the “big guys” along in feature sets and capabilities.

We know the Nikon D90 shoots HD video at 720P. Either RED is speculating or they know something we don’t about Canon; however, that’s pretty specific points to “speculate” about. Sounds like somebody knows something to me.
Will the 5D Mark II be the Canon camera with 1080P video capture?

Several ad spots for the Canon EOS 7D surfaced around the forums today. Unfortunately for those of you itching to see what’s next from Canon, they look to be faked mockup ads. Good Photoshop work though if they are fake.
As an aside, I’m not sure why Canon’s tag line would be “Delighting You Always.” (Keep the comments PG.)
A couple more (probably fake) ads after the break which show off the inconsistencies among the ads. [click to continue…]

It looks like the Sony 70-400mm f/4-5.6 G SSM may have slipped out a bit early. The PDF manual for this new 105-600mm equivalent has surfaced on the web. Notable in the specs is that the zoom is a twist rather than a push-pull zoom seen on similar super-telephoto zoom lenses like the Canon EF 100-400mm L.
This could be a killer telephoto zoom when matched with the Super SteadyShot IS on Sony Alpha DSLRs. Check out the full specs below and stay tuned to Photography Bay for the latest on digital cameras and lenses as we approach Photokina 2008.
