Nikon D700 rumours for July 1ST

[Lance Peters]

nothing mentioned here yet so here goes The net is a buzz with rumours of the July 1st announcment of 5 new nikon products.

It seems likely that there has been a leak concerning the D700.

Full frame, Same sensor as D3, smaller body , sub $3000 price range.

Now that would sure make things intresting if it turns out to be true (Dpreview has a whole raft of threads on it)

Its good to be a Nikon user :)

My sources confirm the D700, however I believe the announcement may come closer to August.

There is also a rumor about a new D90 .............. must reading but here is just one tidbit Has built in VR good for 10 stops :) Will post a link if I find it again it was a riot !!!! The other thing it was mentioned in the article ...... the camera would go on sale five days before the announcement so all Nikon people would have access right away !!!!!

Yes, new stuff allegedly on the way. Nikon is on a roll for sure. Now if I could just get to use my D3 I would be happy, maybe this weekend! :)

Both Canon and Nikon are moving on very fast and are working under a new an interesting approach to photography. I can´t wait to see on the street the new models (D400 and 40DII) with those interesting buttons.... (have a look at the images here http://dancl.wordpress.com/2008/06/2...orra-el-rumor/).
By the way, I miss an in-camera button of the kind "direct upload to BPN forums" or one of the kind "hey look at me!" to have an adequate head turn of the birds :D

I would pay extra for the head-turn button.

What about a time-stand-still button that you push and the bird stops flying allowing you time to compose and get the right light. :cool:
