Dieter Schaefer Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 <p>Not aware that Nikon has released anything about a D750. Where is the information that leads you to the conclusion that Nikon finally got it right?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two23 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 <p>I can't find anything either. If Nikon has come out with a small camera about the size of the Fuji XT1 with better AF and ISO can go to 1600 with no problem, I'd say maybe they got it right. If the supposed new camera is M43 I'm especially interested.</p> <p>Kent in SD</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike D Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 <p>Nikon Rumors has the D750 having a 70% chance of being introduced at Photokina. It is a 24 MP, full frame body positioned between the D610 and the D810. Nikon has teased us with an add about an upcoming sports camera. This part is not rumor. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouter Willemse Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 <blockquote> <p>Does Nikon <strong>finally</strong> get it right</p> </blockquote> <p>If they structurally got it wrong, how come so many people use Nikon cameras? Are both D610 and D810 so backwards and foolish that we really need another FX camera, or wouldn't we be served better if Nikon put that R&D budget somewhere else?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panayotis_papadopoulos Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 <p>If someone doesn't have the budget for a D4s what are his other choices? Surely not D610 or D810 nor the old D300s. So a "small" D4s might do the trick for some sports and action photographers (among others). This product can find a market especially if Canon introduces something similar as rumoured. Nikon wouldn't want to be out of the game.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kohanmike Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 <p>The thing I like so much about Photo.net is that it does not condone rumors. Please let's stick with that and leave rumors to the other forums. As behind the times as is professed about the D300s, mine sure does a good job. The most I will say is it would be nice to see a replacement for that; Dx, 24mp, ISO 25,000, 10fps, NOT smaller.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andylynn Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 Considering there's been no information from Nikon about a D750, and as far as anybody knows there is no such camera, I don't see how anybody can make a judgment about whether Nikon got it right.

ShunCheung Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 <p>Of course I have no faith with rumor sites. Their purpose is to generate web traffic at all cost in order to sell advertisements and make money; they are not there to provide accurate information to readers. They typically provide half truths and sometimes even deliberately insert wrong information to give themselves further opportunities to provide "corrections" so that they get two additional round of "news/rumor cycles" out of nothing. Another tactic is that they drip a bit of information at a time so that the announcement of one product becomes headline news half a dozen times.</p> <p>Just like most other people, I read rumor sites once in a while, but I take them with a large grain of salt. Sometimes I am under Nikon NDA myself and their tactic becomes very obvious since I know what the facts are. For example, four years ago, I was under NDA and knew that Nikon was announcing four lenses. The rumor site was tipped off with info for all four. However, they suddenly changed the 28-300mm/f3.5-5.6 AF-S VR for FX to 18-200mm for FX: : http://www.photo.net/casual-conversations-forum/00WtzV<br> There was no way that they would have gotten correct info for the other three lenses but a technologically impossible 18-200 FX, so I pointed that out on the thread above. Of course, after milking the wrong info for a while, the rumor site turned around and "corrected" themselves. The actual Nikon announcement came a month later: http://www.photo.net/nikon-camera-forum/00X6PA</p> <p>If you treat rumors as facts, when your wishes are shattered, the disappointment and frustration will be serious. It is unwise to let those rumor sites drag you on an emotional roller coaster ride.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike D Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 <p>Shun, the Nikon Rumor site I visit places probabilities, some of them pretty low, on all their statements about rumored equipment. They seldom say 100% probable except for some Sony models which they absolutely nailed. Even in the auto industry, accurate information about highly anticipated models is leaked, officially, to the public sometimes a year in advance. BTW, the auto industry is having a record year while DSLRs are slowly losing market share to mirrorless. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those probabilities are merely random numbers to cover their back side, not scientifically significant statistics. It doesn't change the fact that they generate false hopes and expectations to benefit themselves, only to get lots of people disappointed. Again, you only have yourself to blame when you fall for those rumors.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tholte Posted August 24, 2014 Author Share Posted August 24, 2014 <p>Sometimes they are right and sometimes they are wrong. In this particular case, I hope they are right because it looks like the camera I have been looking for to replace my duct-taped D300 that has been in too many blizzards and taken to many falls. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CvhKaar Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 <blockquote> <p>Their purpose is to generate web traffic at all cost in order to sell advertisements and make money</p> </blockquote> <p>Yup, totally agree to that,!!<br> But i think both the truthfull sites and rumour sites have their place.. the former for geting / sharing iusefull information, the latter ones for amusement.. Both try to make an income from what they do best, be it information or amusement... and if they do their job well, and they do, i like to visit them both..</p> <p>It is just the art to use them both to your advantage and know which one to believe.... :-)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan_south Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 "Finally" implies that Nikon has never gotten anything right before. Given that people have been creating amazing photos with Nikon gear for nearly sixty years, I would say that the company does plenty of things right.

My gut feeling is that the rumor sites will let you down, again.</p> <P> Personally, I replaced my D300 with the D7000 way back in late 2010. That D7000 has in turn been replaced by a D7100. </P> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
