Nikon D40, Could this be Real?

Nikon D40? Real or fake?

Blogger Allen George managed to spot german retailer website neckermann.de with pictures and specifications on a new Nikon D40 digital SLR camera before they took it down. Could this be real?

Neckermann.de seems like a pretty highly-trafficked and reputable site. And it’s hard to tell if the pictures are results of elaborate Photoshop-jobs. Any eagle-eyed readers care to share your opinions?

To me, it does look real. The button layout looks vastly different from Nikon’s existing offerings, and it is indeed about time the Nikon D50 gets a refresh or replacement.

More photos below.

Specifications:

  • 6.1 Megapixels
  • Compressed 12-bit NEF, JPEG
  • 3 autofocus points
  • 2.5″ (230,000 pixel) LCD with up to 19x magnification

  • Program modes including flash (Portrait, Landscape, Night, Spot, Child, Night Portrait)
  • i-TTL compatible
  • 1/500 Flash Sync
  • USB 2.0
  • SD, SD-HC
  • Lithium-Ion EN-EL9
  • 94 × 126 x 64mm (3.7 x 4.9 x 2.5in)
  • 475g (16.7oz) without battery, memory card, LCD cover or body cap

    I have mine set to change my ISO on my bD40/b. I don't think the Fn button can be assigned to toggle ISO on the D90. But you're able to do it on the bD40/b?
