Why has Phil not released the D60 news?

[Zero]

Remember when the D100 was leaked 1 hour earlier than intended - Phil released the news right away because the NDA no longer applied. But in this case no news from Phil yet. So that could mean the leak from Steve's was not a real leak - and this hoo-hah is a cruel joke. Thus Phil did not break his NDA.

Has anyone considered this yet?

Just because someone stumbles across the info doesn't mean the NDA is pulled. FWIW it'll be announced today I reckon.

Well Michael R decided to produce something.

I'm with you - I think it's all fake - and I'd put money on that !

Is it just me ot does the language of the press release sound a little unprofessional in areas ? Is this slightly mocked up ?

If Michael didn't sign an NDA there is no problem for him (AFAIK). On the other hand I'm sure Phil has signed an NDA and maybe already writing up on the D60 review, if he posted anything it would be considered breaking the NDA.
However, It's still exciting to read about it..

Errr... How much?

One of the leaking Site for the D100 was Nikon Japan. Not a leak any more but freely available info from the actual manufacturer.

As for this being a joke or not... I still have not seen the actual page.. I guess I will have to check back tomorrow

Good point, but this guy is pretty reputable, and unlikely to post rumours, unless he was pretty damn sure. I do think he was also under NDA as well.

But since Paul Pope is willing to wager $1mm, that's good enough for me

Either it is a very clever hoax -- but if it is the case, I guess Steve and others will immediately denounce this immedately. Nobody did nothing so I guess, there is something going on...

If D60 turns out to be a real thing! Just kidding.

I did a thorough search using Japanese Yahoo (www.yahoo.co.jp) but came out with nothing. Japanese web sites usually leak the news on photography equipment first.

However, the Big Event (PMA) being in the US, it is logical to assume that the news would be on English-based web sites first.

Now, I saw the page on Steve's Digicams before it was removed, and while the "D60" and "Digital" badges could have been done in Photoshop (using a photomontage of D30 and 1D bodies) I think the new rubber flap that covers the remote and flash jacks looked too realstic (and if it were a hoax, a very subtle touch).

I know basing an argument on a simple rubber flap is shaky at least, but I for one think the D60 we saw today is the real thing.

(The body looks exactly like a D30 though).--cheers,bluedot.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - In a nutshell, I'm a nutcase.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -www.pbase.com/nichijin

I'm with Paul. Michael has been around for a while. His site is well respected for the reviews and articles he publishes. I don't think its fake. I really like what I'm reading in the press release.

• RAW+JPEG
• Does not need NR for 30s exposure. This means less noise!
• Illuminated AF points! Woohoo!
• AF down to EV 0.5!
• Illuminated LCD panel
• a color tone option???

--- Canon D-30 & PowerShot S100- Maybe one day I'll take a decent picture. In the meantime, I'll blame the equipment.

According to Phil, Nikon Japan released the info ahead of time, thus voiding his NDA with Nikon. Canon did not release the D60 info ahead of time. Phil is still bound by his NDA.

If you were following it when 'Photo5252' or whatever his name was posted the original post, the first 20-30 minutes or so there were no images on the review and then they showed up.

Why would they show up? Well, someone fixed the links. Why did someone fix the links on a story not due for release until Saturday? Putting on my best conspiricy theory cap, perhaps 'Photo5252' hacked into Steves Digicams and put the bogus story there. He then added the images once he realized they were broken-- and tipped his hand.

Because it does not have much things to tell except minor improvement over D30.

Nothing to boast about! That's the problem......
