Any new rumors?

Haven't seen any new rumors lately. Is it just that time of year where things are slow?

Perhaps we should start one

D7100 prices are dropping, so can the D7200 be far away?

PB_PM

Holiday sales, nothing usual with price drops at this time of year.

I expect to see rumors about one month before the CES show. My prediction are the D7200, as you stated, plus some tweaks to DX lens and perhaps a new DX lens.

:-D Excellent idea! Give it a one or two more pages of this discussion, and someone who remarks that this was all just made up by someone from NRF will be accused of being a conspiracy theorist.

We could take this to a higher level if different NRF members post something on that new rumor in other forums too.

I hear that the D400 is about to be released last year.

Not true. You have the wrong sources. From a more trustworthy source, I heard that it's actually about to be released two to three years ago.

Not the D400, but the new DM-1 FX Mirrorless......

Just kidding folks......

I think if they made it look like the S3 rangefinder, they may have a hit on their hands.

I have it from a good source that the above rumor is true. An older boy who lives down the street - his cousins dad works for a paper mill. They had a run of photo paper and a Nikon rep was there. He didn't have a new camera or even mention one - but still - think about it.

No, no, no. The next big thing is the Nikon Fd. Yes, a digital insert to put into your old film camera. Forget the Df prepare to dig that Nikon FTn out of the basement and start using it again! What's old is new!

well, now this thread is starting to move .........

Actually, I thought the insert was to be embedded behind the eye with a USB port in the back of the neck.

I guess you guys have not heard of the Nikon D815 huh?

Have Nikon provided funding to James Jackson and bought the rights/patent from him??

I hear there is going to be a new fluid lens that will be modified by a chip and can instantly go from UW to exotic telephoto in an instant. Perfect sharpness, perfect resolution, perfect contrast. The only issue they are having is when the battery get low the lens fluid drains out...

They can't put anything in the Internets Tubes that is not true.

There is tons of work in this area, and some of it has already been commercialized. You can buy it today from Varioptic:

"You may notice that this news means that the model number will jump from D5300 to D5500. No, it’s not an oversight on Nikon’s part — the reason is most likely the fact that East Asian cultures dislike the number 4. Camera companies tend to skip over the number in model names."
