The Rumors Were True! D300s, D3000, New 70-200mm and 18-200mm

“Honey, I’m hungry, have we got any crow around?” In truth, I’m partly wrong, partly right. So let’s call it:
D3000: I Predicted: Not soon, if ever. Reality: Announced today, due November.
D300s: I Predicted: “Questionable”, not 1080p HD. Reality: Announced today, due November– 720p.
New Nikkor 70-200mm: Prediction- not this year. Reality: Announced today!
New 18-200mm: Prediction- “no reason not to update it”. Reality: it’s here. Admittedly, my prediction is squishy, so I’ll only claim partial credit.
D700x: Prediction – not likely. Reality- still not announced. Since every other item announced is due in November (as I predicted, for Christmas), I’m doubting it’s forthcoming this year, if ever.
Nikkor 24-135: Prediction – “Who knows, who cares.” Reality- still not announced.
Nikkor 35mm f/1.4 AF-S: Prediction – if this year, ready for Christmas. Reality- still not announced.
Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 AF-S: Prediction – Possibly, but doubtful this year. Reality- still not announced.
