Hard to imagine that this isn’t talking about a new camera:

Nikon Canada has invited a group of Polish professional photographers to photographic workshops, which are to take place in Lodz in the weekend 6-7 December 2008 The event was a work in the studio, practical classes with NX2 and” surprise “. I have been told that 4 December will be the official presentation of the “surprises” and the workshop will have the opportunity to play with some surprise the panel Nikon. This information I received from a man with Nikon Poland, but not what he betrayed it will “surprise”. From what is understood to be something used in the studio. I did not receive detailed information about working in the studio during the workshop, so I guess that will be playing with a new camera.

At this point, base on all the recent rumors, a betting man would put money on the surprise being the 24 megapixel FX format camera, in other words the D3x. I’d guess specs like:

24 megapixel sensor (But will it be the Exmore from Sony?)
14 Bit A/D
Dual Expeed processing (It took dual Bionz for Sony to hit the 5fps)
Sensor Cleaning (didn’t make it to the D3, but is present in the D700(
6.5 FPS (Sony A900 pulls in 5 FPS, Nikon won’t be content to equal that in a pro-body_
1080p HD video recording (new must have feature)
51 point AF (no need to upgrade this)
Improved live view functionality

In conclusion, we’ll see a new camera from Nikon in about one week, hopefully it’s the D3x.

Now about that D400…
