Photokina what will Nikon announce now

[Terry]

Geotagging

GPS unit

Along with the D90 Nikon also announced a very neat little GPS unit, the GP-1. We don't have a lot of information on it at the moment except that it sits on the hot shoe and attaches to the same port as the new MC-DC2 Remote cord (it would appear that the D90 isn't compatible with the D80's MC-DC1 remote cord). From what we understand the GP-1 will be compatible with all Nikon's most recent SLRs (the D3, D300, D700, D2x, D2hs & D200) but are awaiting confirmation on this. It's worth noting that the GP-1 (which provides geotagging information in the EXIF data) doesn't use the standard 9-pin D Sub connector for GPS, nor does the D90 have Nikon's 10 pin data port.

HI There
Announcement on 27th August
D90 announced

there's lots of talk of revamped primes - so maybe one or two.

also talk of new quality mid range zoom - I'd be surprised but overjoyed

that's it - 24mp camera coming later - it looks like Sony have gone a little 'off the boil' with their camera too (which probably reduces the urgency for Nikon), so I expect nothing - perhaps until November, probably in January.

:thumbdown:
Even more depressing than I thought - I did reckon they might at least announce 1 new prime

Still, nice to know that they're still producing new DX lenses.
