PMA 2008- 4 New Coolpix’s, 1 New SLR, 3 New Lenses?
[Update]
…My girlfriend works for a radio station in Slovenia and they received an invitation to a press conference on 30th January in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia.
The invitation states, that 4 new Coolpix series compact cameras will be presented, a new D-SLR camera (”… a very interesting and technicaly & pricingly superbly positioned D… that replaces the currently available Nikon D… “) and three new Nikkor lenses.
So; 4 new Coolpixes, 1 new D-SLR and 3 new Nikkor lenses. It’s clear, the new D-SLR can only replace D40x or D80 and that one of the lenses is to be a kit lens for the new D-SLR camera (probably the 16-85 VR). The other two lenses are supposed to be two new/redesigned primes.
Well, I guess I shan’t get very excited about the PMA, I’m not seeing rumors about products that would make me open my wallet:
On the D300 forums there is someone who has a wife working for a radio station in Europe and she apparently knew the following information. It seems very reasonable:
4 new Coolpix Cameras
1 new DSLR
3 new lensesSo, we all know that the new DSLR is the D60 and 1 of the 3 new lenses is the 16-85 f3.5-5.6 VR because production on it has already started.

The new Coolpix are here! The new Coolpix are here!
Every time there is an announcement of Coolpix, they just refer to the quantity to be introduced without regards to an distinguishing characteristics. I always envision there is a big barrel of Coolpix prototypes at Nikon headquarters– whenever Nikon holds a press conference, they just scoop up three or four and chuck them at the press.
