First rumour of the week

I was talking with the photographer who did our wedding last year, and he has a mate going to meet with the big wigs of Nikon regarding the release of a new pro-DSLR. Whilst no designation has been given as yet, it is expected to be a D3X featuring c18mp resolution, full frame with a 10mp, 10fps fast speed crop mode. Cost is estimated to be $10k.

Also, apparently a 12-24 2.8 FF zoom will also be released.

This is all targeted for an August release.

Shhhh....don't tell anyone.

The photog telling me all this seemed quite serious about it, but I think he is an upgrade junky.

This rumour is worth the time it took you to read it. :lol:

That's alright, I will just rack up another 1,000 posts of inane blabbering and poor attempts at humour, irrespective of the post count! :twisted:

Thank you for your kind words, Craig!

Of course, this now brings into question Gary's 12k plus posts. :twisted:

If it is inappropriate for a newbie like me to post such unconfirmed rumours (well, it is confirmed that it is a rumour), the moderators can delete this thread. :lol: :lol:

That was not intentional and was a function of access to the site being suboptimal. I would never dare go against the spirit of things just to get my post count up! :lol:

But, I humbly and electronically prostrate before Gary's omnipotence and request that he consider my worth to restore my post count! :lol:

I wouldn't be so concerned with it. We'll just treat it with some eViagra from some of that spam I keep getting and it should grow in size again, Patrick.
