Well ladies and gentlemen, it has apparently started. The covert cell phone pictures.

Cut and paste the URL if you really wanna see. But suffice it to say that this is the most legit looking “leak” we have seen yet. D700 = D3 / D300. Just like I said it would be. They claim to be using the D3′s 12 megapixel sensor, too.

There are still a lot of fishy things about it all that everyone is heatedly debating, but I have seen many a fake leak in my day, and this one looks as close to legit as ever.

Plus, the two industry gurus who WOULD know, and who would therefore be under an NDA about the camera, have pleaded “no comment”. I know it’s a stretch, but to me that sorta implies that they’re in the know and the camera DOES exist.

The only thing left for us to guess is the price. The over/under is still $3000 and I’m voting for under at $2999.
