Rumor: The Nikon D4s Will be Announced on February 25th

Alright, the rumor sites are giving this another shot. After getting the announcement date wrong the first time -- it seems that February 11th event was not related to the D4s at all -- Nikon Rumors is confidently reporting that the camera will get its official announcement on February 25th.

Adorama Momentarily Lists the Nikon D4s, Sensor Specs Not in Line with Rumors

Well, February 11th came and went without so much as a peep about the D4s. It seems that invitation for a special Nikon event didn't have to do with the new flagship after all.

But have no fear, because earlier today, Adorama accidentally (or at least it seemed accidental) listed the yet-unannounced camera alongside some new specs that, at least according to the well-informed folks at Nikon Rumors, seem wrong...

Fresh Details About the Nikon D4s Surface on the Rumor Mill

Nikon already revealed that the D4s is in the works -- the company even had one on display in a 'so-close-and-yet-so-far' glass case at CES -- but so far, we've had very little info about the camera itself. Officially, we know that the new flagship will feature a new image processor and "more advanced autofocusing performance," but thanks to Nikon Rumors, we now know a bit more.

Nikon Rumor Roundup, or: What to Expect in the Next Few Months

The folks over at Nikon Rumors have been hard at work keeping everybody up on what you can expect from Nikon, but if you're like us, you just don't have the time to follow rumors day in and day out. So here's a roundup of what the most exciting and plausible rumors that should give Nikon lovers some idea of what to expect in the next couple of months.

Rumor: Nikon to Announce a 35mm f/1.8G Full-Frame Lens at CES

Nikon already makes a 35mm f/1.8G DX lens but the equivalent isn't available for its full-frame cameras, at least not yet. At this point, if you want a 35mm FX lens for your Nikon, you're stuck spending $1,600+ on the f/1.4, but that might all change in a couple of weeks at CES.

Rumor Has It: On the Rumor Mill and the Photo Industry

Rumors, leaks, and sneak peaks dominate headlines in photo gear news. More often than not, the appearance, specs and even price of a new piece of gear (this applies particularly to cameras) is known well before its manufacturer announces it themselves -- a fact that should come as no surprise to frequent PetaPixel readers.

Nikon Teases New Retro-Styled Full-Frame in Mysterious ‘Pure Photography’ Ad

Shortly after Sony announced the mirrorless a7 and a7R full-frames, rumors broke that Nikon had a new full-frame of its own coming in short order. As release dates and spec lists have begun to fly, anticipation has understandably grown; and now, Nikon is adding fuel to that fire by releasing a short teaser video for a "pure photography" camera.

First Photos of Nikon’s D600 Entry-Level Full Frame Leaked

Entry-level full frame rumors are certainly getting their time in the spotlight today. Immediately following rumors that the 7D Mark II might become the Canon FF entry-level we've all been waiting for, we now have the first pictures of Nikon's D600. Initial rumors about the entry-level full frame, which is supposed to be the true sequel to the D700, were met with significant reservations, but these pictures seem to leave no more doubt that the camera really is in the works.

Crazy Rumor: Nikon Camera With a Canon EF Mount

We're gonna call this rumor "significantly farfetched," but stranger things have happen and we'd hate to miss out on this one just in case somehow it comes to fruition. Someone personally told the folks over at Northlight Images that Nikon and Canon are swapping some patents, the result of which will be a Nikon camera with an EF mount.

Nikon Refutes Greenish Tint Issues, Says LCD on D4/D800 is More Accurate

Over the past week there have been several complaints lodged against Nikon claiming that the LCD screen on the D4 and D800 has a green cast when compared to the older models. Nikon, however, has responded by claiming that the D3s and D700 models were in fact the less accurate pair. According to Nikon Rumors, Nikon tech support is blaming the LCD on the D3s and D700, asserting that its higher display color temperatures leads to blue tinted images.

First Photos of the Nikon D800 Leaked

The Nikon D800 has been rumored for quite some time, but was reportedly delayed last month after production was halted by the massive floods in Thailand. If you've been frustrated with the lack of Nikon news on the DSLR front, here's something that should tide you over temporarily: photos of the upcoming Nikon D800 were leaked this past weekend.

Mysterious and Fishy Nikon Q Photos

The above photographs were anonymously emailed to Nikon Rumors recently, and appear to show Nikon presenting some sort of upcoming "Q" camera. The fact that Nikon has begun including the text "F Mount" on their rear lens caps seems to indicate that we might see a new mount introduced soon, possibly for a new EVIL system and in time for Photokina.

Blank Nikon D7000 Pages Confirm that Announcement is Near

Here's just a fun tidbit to chew on while we wait for the official Nikon D7000 announcement: Nikon Rumors discovered today that the Nikon sites of certain European countries (e.g. Germany, Poland, and Italy) have already put up placeholder pages for the upcoming camera. There are no links to these pages, but they can be accessed by using "d7000" in the URL.

Supposed Pictures of the Nikon D4

If Nikon sticks to their regular schedule, the Nikon D4 should be announced sometime in the summer of 2011, 4 years after the announcement of the D3. About 24 hours ago, someone on the Nikon Rumors Forum posted a few links to what they claim is the upcoming D4.
