Internet chatters are definitely getting hotter with the supposed December 1st release date for Nikon D3X, the latest DSLR camera with 24.4 mega-pixel full frame (FX) sensor. The guys at NikonRumors claimed that they have found the product information page (http://www.nikonusa.com/Find-Your-Nikon/Product/Digital-SLR/25442/D3x.html) for D3X, and even grabbed some images of the new Nikon D3X before Nikon took them down. These look awfully like the ancient D3 (front, back), but this can be. The D3X should be the higher pixel count FX format D3, so the body looks similar (or same), and Nikon marketing media department could be using the same setup to take the product shots, so you get very similar-looking images.
Now the page is blank and the images (front, back) are gone from Nikon site. So don’t waste your time trying…

Someone claimed that a Nikon representative disclosed some details of the upcoming Nikon MX format DSLR camera. I had to say it is not very credible but for the interestingness, here are the juicy pieces:
- November 20th announcement and early December availability
- Larger than full frame (FX) sensor with more than 24 megapixel
- Crop mode more than 12 megapixel (with FF lens?)
- New lenses that also work on FF body
- D700 size and price
The timing seems to be consistent with
another rumor we reported earlier. Perhaps it is true?

Nikon D700 and D3 are great full frame (FX) DSLR cameras for their solid build quality and low light capability. However there are people who want or need high pixel density, especially when both Canon and Sony now have high pixel density (>20 megapixel) full frame DSLR cameras in the market.
According to a “reliable” (it is up to you for the meaning of this word) source, a high pixel count (Would it be 24 megapixel?) full frame pro DSLR will be announced in approximately 45 days. That’s just a week before the Christmas! Perfect timing for a New Year’s wish list.

This is not totally new. I have seen it mentioned at several places by various people. Now engadget has picked up the story. Is it a digital rangefinder? Digital medium format? It appears to have a larger sensor, which may be the rumored Nikon MX format.

Canon has put up a teaser site at http://www.canon.com/moon/en/index.html. It appears to show a silhouette of a DSLR camera in the shadow of the Moon. Many seem to agree it will be the replacement for the aging 5D, but nobody seems to know for sure the exact model number. Read More…

Rumors have been floating around for quite a while. Now there is some evidence that the Nikon D90 is coming. Apparently someone (as reported by Engadget) has found the D90 in the UPC database.
