Rumor: Nikon D3X Was Delayed 6+ Months
This is an interesting bit of info from a reputable Nikon list:
It must be 2 or 3 years ago that I heard from somebody who shot an early prototype of the D3x and what he told me about the details he saw in the images made me want one. The camera itself was actually scheduled for release early this year, but due to some last minute glitch, they delayed the launch 6 months and then again some more months. …
That’s really interesting and might explain why Canon/Sony were able to come out with their high-res models earlier than Nikon.
I’m guessing that chip manufacturing or SW was the cause of the delay, but who knows?
