Nikon Roadmap Leaked

[marcotrov]

Not sure if this is already been advertised but a prof. photog friend just emailed me, probably to sink the boot in to me for not waiting. You see I just purchased my D700(should arrive from digidirect Friday) and he had warned me to wait but i am happy with my decision as a wanted high ISO ability rather than more pixel(Res) . Anyhow for those interested here is the site with the so called leaked Nikon roadmap

If anything it makes for interesting reading. Actually it seems strange there is no D700s on the horizon according to this.

The roadmap is dated July 2009. It includes a D3000 and a 17-65 lens to have been released last August & a D700x, 24-135 lens and 35 1.4 to be released last October. None of these happened. It did contain a D300s and a 70-200 VR II lens. Not a good batting average for a legit leak

You are always on the ball Peter. Yeah I saw that but sometimes even the best laid roadmaps need to be re-drawn because of inclement 'weather'
But i do agree the other thing that places a big q mark on it is the rather strange new lens configurations in many of the cases listed?

Looks like mostly speculation with some fact.

60-95 f2 sounds interesting..

Actually, the D3000 was announced here on July 30, in the same press release as the D300s and the new 70-200.

And we had one for review a couple of months back. its guide mode is very good, and shows you the way to manual control, explaining the settings available and why you'd use them, within a practical, shoot now environment.

And this roadmap was also covered here around the time it was initially leaked.
