Nikon Briefing 26th? Finnish Press Conference? New Nikon Pro Body July 1st? D3x? D700? dWtf?
After a ‘lot’ of pushing with a pro dealer over here (UK) that is primarily a US dealer, I was told that an announcement was due before the end of the month, and possibly as early as Monday, about a new Nikon pro body.
I have no idea if they are stringing me along to keep my business (and I confess I’m hoping for a D3x so that the D3 falls in pricing a little further) but thought it worth repeating here in case Thom or someone can confirm they’ve heard similar.
AND:
…
However, the dealer has taken the print-out I gave them of the ‘leaked images’ and discussed them with a Nikon rep.
He did not expect any positive reaction, so the most interesting one was a refusal to deny the existence of the camera, and being told to wait until a formal Nikon briefing next week.
Monday’s already passed though, but then:
My London Nikon dealer has today cancelled appointments on Thursday next week, 26th June, to attend a Nikon event/briefing that day. Who knows?
AND:
Nikon Finland has called on a press conference on the first of July. We’ll wait and see.
Well this is exciting, but we’ve been burned by dealers in past who say anything, but who knows… Where the hell is my Nikon digital rangefinder or the D3-sensor-based P&S? And prime lenses are still not off my shopping list.
