PMA 2008 Rumors – D3x, Nikon Digital Rangefinder, Modular, new Flagship?
1001NoisyCameras is reporting Nikon rumors they’ve heard about PMA 2008:
Nikon DSLRs and Digital Rangefinders
- Nikon Super Flagship (rumors said cost not an issue)
- Nikon D3X, a flagship but not the super flagship that was rumored earlier
- Nikon “affordable” full-frame (eg D3-ish sensor in D300 body). although this is probably more like a Photokina 2008.
- Nikon Digital Rangefinder (remember that dual rumor with the very expensive flagship?)
- Nikon D200s or D200x (refresher to match the Canon 40D in price?)
- Nikon Modular. This mythical monster resurfaces every few months, but never sees the light of day. Is this the Loch Ness monster of digital cameras? I don’t expect this type of thing this year.
Wha, huh?
This is just pure noise! I might go with an announced D3x, but even that seems a bit early since by January, how many of us will even have the D3 in our hands?
A SUPER FLASHSHIP? What’s that, the rumored Medium-Format sensor, which itself doesn’t make much sense. I think this is getting mixed up with the D3x.
Afforable full-frame? Maybe, in ‘09.
Digital Rangefinder- about as likely Kucinich seeing another UFO, I’m betting– would be nice though.
D200s or D200x - I just don’t see this as possible. Maybe an F90-kind of body, but I don’t see a 200-level body (but whom am I?)
Nikon Modular- despite the ‘confirmed’ rumors, I’m down on this rumor, I think technically, it’d be too had to pull off and still make a reasonable looking/working package.
