Today we were sent a list of its specifications and a photo by a reader who claims to be 'in the know' which we publish here for your perusal. Looks like solid information to us but only time will tell.
The speculation is that this camera could be released in the next few days - with most saying its got a release date of 1 September.
UPDATE - I've just been told from a reasonably reliable source that the Nikon D200 is coming - but that tomorrow (September 1) is NOT the release date. We should expect new Nikon digital camera tomorrow - but the D200 will be a later release according to this source - perhaps in November.
UPDATE IIDigit Weekly magazine has a picture of the Nikon D200 on their front cover and says that they believe it will be released in September or November. Pretty unspecific information but perhaps one of the first mentions of the Nikon D200 in any type of offline media?
