Official Nikon D700 Photos Leaked?
Nikon Rumors offers this photo and more as official pics of the D700, with no text explanation. Look real to you? Either way, the rumors are true of a midrange cam with a D3 sensor are worth getting excited over. [Nikon Rumors]

Nikon D700 Leaked in Magazine
Guess what was spotted in the latest issue of Germany's ProfiFoto magazine? Yes, you guessed it—the absolutely worst-kept secret in the photography world, the Nikon D700. We're still expecting the official announcement on July 1st (as it's been long-rumored). Until then, enjoy this small scan of the magazine from which one can pull absolutely no details other than, like, it has a flash and extended battery mount. [Nikon Rumors]
rumor smashed
Darnit darnit—that's what you'll be saying if you're an eager Nikon fan, waiting for the new mid-range D700 DSLR. Those shots we showed you in our previous rumor post? Yep: faked. Over on NikonD700.com they've got a link to the original pre-Photoshopped image on Flickr. It's of a D300, and is clearly of a higher quality and resolution than the D700 fake. See below for the full pic.

Nikon D700 Announcement Slated for Next Monday
A retailer has confirmed the existence of the Nikon D700, even though Nikon hasn't announced it yet. The webpage for Digital Depot has posted "Nikon will be announcing the new Nikon D700 on Monday 30th June! Check back soon for details, images and specifications.” I wonder if they'll be waiting a little longer than some other retailers for their first box of D700s... [via photography bay]
rumor
Could these be actual shots of the upcoming Nikon D700 mid-range DSLR? The spy image and the production shot (pictured after the break) look decent enough, so there is a good chance that they are the real deal. Hopefully, it won't be long before we know for sure.

Nikon D700 DSLR Announced July 1st?
Jacobs Digital Photo & Video, a UK camera supplier, is boasting a "a big surprise on the 1st July 2008, a major supplier will be announcing a brand new SLR." The consensus seems to be that it'll be the D700 from Nikon, a mid-range full-frame DSLR that's been generating a lot of noise recently. Other, less likely, possibilities: D90 or D3x from Nikon, or the long-awaited Canon 5D Mark II. Whichever ones aren't announced July 1 we'll probably see at Photokina in Sept.

unconfirmed
More on that rumored mid-range full-frame DSLR from Nikon, and this looks a lot realer, with some decently convincing promo materials for the D700. Specs include a full-frame 12.1MP CMOS sensor (same as the D3's), and a 51-point AF system, also the same as the D3. ISO range is 200-6400, or 100-25600 extended. So, uh, what differentiates it from the D3 other than the apparently small body and hopefully smaller price? Beats us for now, but we're hyped. Update: Supposed full spec list added.

Fake Nikon D10 Images Surface, But Mid-Range, Full-Frame DSLR Might Be Real
Okay, so I'm going to go out on a limb and call these badly Photoshopped images of a rumored Nikon D10 DSLR faaaaaake (see all that nastiness around the D10 logo?). But that doesn't mean there isn't a D10 in the works. For one, there is a hole in their line up between the prosumer D300 and the pro D3—a mid-range, full-frame DSLR to compete with Canon's 5D (and hotly anticipated 5D Mark II). Also, there are references to accessories for a D10, and Nikon expert Thom Hogan (who's written a zillion Nikon field guides) says they've never deviated from naming policies. Finally there is definitely a full-frame war going on. So, still firmly in rumorland, a D10 is very possibly in the works—we'll probably know by Photokina in Sept., which looks more and more exciting. [Photography Bay, Nikon Rumors]

A newly published patent application from Nikon has revealed plans for a new viewfinder technology involving a small display screen that can be viewed within the optical viewfinder. The photographer could switch between the optical image and digital display for a number of reasons, the most notable being the ability to enable a wide viewing angle when zoomed in on a subject.

roundup
I have a confession to make: I've never owned a digital camera. I've played around plenty with friend's point-and-shoots, and I have picked up a DSLR on occasion too. But I never saw the point of paying $300 for something my iPhone could pretty much do well enough. Now that summer's coming up and the price of high-megapixel cameras is going down, though, I figure it might be time to pick one out for myself—on the cheap. Let someone else waste money, I want to know what's good at $150 and not a penny more. I'm gonna be picky: I only want a camera that can take shots that make me look like a photography genius while in truth I'm a photography dumbass, but still, the key is to keep the price down. I tried out five $150-and-under cameras, and here's what I found:

Nikon D90 and D3x DSLRs Dropping in June?
June is shaping up to be a hot month for DSLRs. Fresh off spotting the 24.4-megapixel D3x lurking in the D3's firmware, whispers out of Japan are that the monolith is due by the second week of June, along with the D90, an update to Nikon's well-loved D80. Pure rumor, but Thom Hogan is symbiotically attached to Nikon equipment, and Photography Bay has a decent BS detector. And the D3x is obviously around. So let's call it 50-50?

For the photographer with a sharp eye (for recycling) come these innovative bracelets from Australian designer Craig Arnold. Called the re:vision line, these premium-priced baubles are assembled using the discarded lens casings of some of the world's most well-known camera brands. (I swear I spotted a Minolta in there somewhere.) The bad news is that these hacked-up lens hand-me-downs are priced from around $175 to $250, and come complete with wear and tear from their previous owner. Certainly not cheap, especially when you consider that hacksaws, hammers and your friend's brand new Nikon D60—conveniently "borrowed for the weekend"—are so readily at hand on the cheap.
