Nikon D700 Real photo leaked! Bulit in FLASH confirm???

Go to last post
Could someone here who understands the components of both the D3 and D300 answer this? Could the pentaprism in a D3 build for full frame be used in a D300 body?

If this is not possible than the photo appears not to be a camera with a full frame sensor. I've overlaid the D700 image with the D300 image and the pentaprism casing is identical. It appears larger in the D700 photo due to the lighting.
 
I dont think people should attach too much significance to the prism size for 2 reasons;

1- as stated film slrs didnt always have massive prisms. the size isnt a given

2- i reckon the prism on the D3 was made artificially large as a marketing point.. show off the fact the D3 is 'bulging' with FF technology.. a bit like bonnet bulges on cars.
 
Well, if we are to believe the images and text, the D700 does indeed have a "large pentagonal prism"



And if the image is real, it also has the viewfinder curtain found on the big cameras. Sweet.
 
What nonsense... And who came up with the D700 name anyway and why did it stick?? Just thinking of all the speculation that came out before the D3/300 series... I bet we're a ways out...

Me: ”There are rumours of a new FF Nikon camera. Do you know anything
about that?”
Him: ”Not sure there will be a FF, but I know they have a major Nikon
PR event for some SLR products in a week or so. Would you like to get
an invitation for you?”
Me: ”Yes.” (that was obvious :) )

So, I will wait and see.

Keep you informed.

I don't know if this is about the FF D700 (?) or something else,
however it will be something for sure and from Nikon.

I'll keep you informed.
The person that arranged for my invitation is the owner of one of the
most reputable photo gear retail businesses here.

So... I'm just plain curious. We'll see.

cheers

Well Nikon deserves full photon torpedoes up their jacksy for keeping those with a decent set of Nikkors waiting so long for a digital camera to match them.

(The energy output of a photon torpedo, according to the Technical Manuals is a maximum theoretical yield of 25 Isotons and a maximum rated yield of 18.5 Isotons. According to the TNG Technical Manual, photon torpedoes use 1.5kg of matter and 1.5kg of antimatter. The resulting energy output would be 2.7x1017Joules of energy (by the well-known formula E=mc2). This amount of energy release would be equivalent to about a 64.44 megaton nuclear explosion).

Maybe, just maybe, there's a D10 with 18MP and a D700 with 12MP. Plus a D3x 24MP as well. ;)

I have compared the lens to all current Nikon lenses, and I can't
find a match, so my guess is, that's a new FX kit lens like i.e. AF-S
VR 24-105mm f4G.

Thom mentioned that there are a couple of surprises in the pipeline. I really hope at least one of them is the beginning of an f/4 zoom line, which could be just this lens (I'm hoping for 24-120 f/4, but 24-105 will do).

This specific leaked image is obviously a fake. The pentaprism housing size is the exact same as demonstrated in the gif. The D700 will have a larger pentaprism... someone is having a good laugh here...

In a D300 body, no. In a D300-sized body, yes.

This animation by saminda using David Chin's D300 pic at same angle shows clearly this image is not just a doctored D300 iimage. D700 shown is taller, prism house is curved, camera looks about larger overall:

Thom: is there any possibility of an f/4 zoom line be released soon? Is that one of the "surprises" in store that you mentiond in another post?

Ckeck animation by saminda below. It looks larger overall, see my comments below, with a reply by saminda (True subject). Check also Thom's comments below. It doesn't have to be like D3, could be lower spec'd.

Looks to me like a D300 with an 18-200DX and a D70 strap cleverly folded over at the edge of the second "0", all topped off with a little bit of photoshop on the model name plate.

I should come up with a way to make money off of all these fakes it it's that easy to fool people.

The pic could very well be a fake, but as is mentioned elsewhere in this thread the D70 strap only says "Nikon", it doesn't have the model number on it.

David's photo of the D300 is not one to one scale with the D700 image. If you carve out the top and scale it correctly you will see they are the same size.

I don't argue that the image could possibly be genuine, but housing is the same size as the D300 when you overlay the images. It appears the the glare off the side of the D700 gives a sense that it is larger.

View carefully for a while this animation, D700 is larger overall, bottom right, grip and top, which is also curved.

Sigh

It's been established that the d70 strap does not say 'd70' on it anywhere, just 'nikon'.

A little bit of photoshop you say? What about the bigger prism and the completely different front terminal cover?

Please look a little closer ; )

Hi people.

Have been reading all these posts and I have now concluded it is fake. If you look at the D700 in the leaked promotional material (the one from the camera phone, and look at the caps on the right you will notice 2 things:

1) Top cap is smaller than the bottom cap - this is consistant with the size of the plugs under the covers on the real nikon D300.

2) The Logo D700 is very close to these caps (as with the Nikon D300)

Now on the latest D700 picture (actual camera and not a photo of the catalougue) you will note two differences.

1) Both caps are of equal size - this is not the case in reality. The second cap is clearly photoshopped or something.

2) There is a large gap between the Logo D700 and the upper right cap - a significant gap vs the other leaked nikon D700 in the marketing material.

From this, clearly at lease one is fake, or messed around with. Nobody else has actually noticed this yet.

Does anybody agree with me?

Thanks
