The word is spreading like a bad cold with a vengeance. The Nikon D40 is said to be announced soon, but who really knows? I suppose Nikon and a couple of other people working there do know. But with rumors abound, is it Fact or Fiction? We’ll see soon enough, or maybe not at all.

If nikon is announcing this new D40, they sure now how to make a buzz, a plausible deniable buzz. But it is always worth mentioning, if it is announced on November the 16, 2006 as rumored.
