Rumor: Alleged Nikon Roadmap says Aug 09:

A user on a Czech forum (here via NikonRumors.com) has posted what he claims may be from a 37 page Nikon document outlining Nikons product release roadmap for 2009-2010.

Here is what it says about the Nikon D300s:

Released August 4th Nikon D300s - differences from the D300: Continuous high-speed mode: 7 fps, without batterygripu, 8.5 fps with batterygripem, 14-bit mode included 1 Release mode addition: Self-timer + MUP 2200-pixel RGB sensor LCD monitor: 920 to-dot, 2.9-inch, Enhanced contrast detect AF Enhanced phase detect AF: new 2,200-pixel RGB sensor cooperates with 3D Tracking, Auto-Area AF-C is dynamic area, flashing auxiliary section plus focusing direction "display in the viewfinder with the" user-control "change of direction The new processor speeds up AF and significantly increases the quality Movie mode as compared to the D90 and D5000, Movie - mode: 1920 * 1080 at 24 fps Quicktime MOV, H.264 codec D300 3.1-fold compared with the cache memory D300 795 g Extra High Lightning D-mode AF Fine Tuning enhanced: -30 to 30 for the near focus distance, infinity, the shortest and longest focal length CF + SD slot

Our Take:

8.5 f.p.s. with 14 bit images would be a huge surprise, as would a 3x bigger buffer. The rest is pretty much expected on the 4th.

The full translation (translated using Google Translate) of the original post can be found in our forums - see the source link below or click here.

Update:The same poster posted this further down the thread when someone asked him to produce the document, basically saying he found out it was a 'little joke' after spending 3 hours translating it (via Google Translate):

The answer came to me by mail:

  • I idiot when I disclose
  • It's little joke allegedly staff with responsibilities for their beloved colleagues and supervisors with shipper from the center
  • So it's supposedly fancy, but had to give mad work was concerned about his colleagues were extremely happy and very creative. And from me therefore I did laugh and I to 3 hours to translate.

Rumor Credibility:

With 5 stars meaning the rumor is almost a certainty, and 1 star meaning it won't happen in a million years.
