Nikon D3x - Early Version at the Olympics? 24.4mp- Release End of 2008?
I’m having a hard time believing that it’ll be 24.4mp- I’m think it’ll be a bit larger, but:
Although the rumors were strong for an announcement of the 24MP D3x/4 around end of august early september, it looks like its a no show.
I was contacted by an old friend who works for nikon, and even though the 24.4MP camera is going around and will be at the olympics (from what i understood still only as an early prototype), there is no intention of bringing it into production until after the end of 2008.
When I asked him repeatedly if he was sure, he insisted in a very confident matter, that if nikon was going to announce something that big in the time frame given he would have known. I insisted that there had to be some truth in the august rumor, and this time he said: “if its true, then they will surprise everyone, including official dealers - the only thing to come next is the full range of new coolpix cameras” …
Yeah, I also thought August was super unlikely- just too close to the D3 and D700.
This is the only camera store that NikonWatch trusts- never any hassle, gimmicks, or problems:
