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.

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…

Thom Hogan has posted a in-depth review of the full frame (FX) Nikon D700. Considered by many as “mini-D3″, the D700 sets a new category of digital SLR cameras with its performance and price points. In the review, Thom sums up the D700 as “… some sort of hybridization of the D300 and D3…”, and “D300 body, D3 image quality”. He noted that there are “a lot of small detail differences” when comparing D300, D700, and D3. Read More…

Nikon has released a new firmware (A: 2.01/B: 2.01) for the D200 DSLR camera that is supposed to fix the dreaded Dead Battery Syndrome (DBS). My D200 is perfectly fine but I have heard many complaints of the problem: sometimes a fully charged battery is seen by the camera as discharged.

US readers can grab them by following the links below. Readers from other regions please check with your local Nikon website.

  • D200 firmware - A: 2.01/B: 2.01 - Windows
  • D200 firmware - A: 2.01/B: 2.01 - Macintosh
