Nikon Leaks D80 Digital SLR Photos Just 13 Days Before Launch
According to website hiptechblog.com, Nikon Europe has "Accidentally" leaked photos of the soon to be announced mystery Digital SLR - now known, thanks to the photos, as the Nikon D80. Information about this new camera is still sketchy but it now seems that this 10.2-megapixel Digital SLR will feature an SD memory card slot instead of a CompactFlash slot, and the camera body has a mixture of buttons that seem to merge the functionality of the Nikon D50 and D70s.
It has become fairly common practice for some manufacturers to accidentally leak information and/or photographs of new products prior the official launch. This practice seems to help create anticipation and buzz around the product launch, which is the goal of any good marketer.
Please keep in mind that this information is based on "leaked" photos and may not be a true representation of the product to be announced.
