AF-S DX NIKKOR 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED

最近網路上傳的沸沸揚揚 , 4/14 Nikon 新機即將現身
由最近洩漏出來的一些照片而言 , 推估是Nikon 新型號 D5000
1).  2.7" 可翻轉LCD .... 這對Nikon DSLR 是全新感受啊
2).  11點對焦, 入門機有福啦... 擺脫以前的三點對焦的窘境
3).  可錄影 , 應該是DSLR 現有的標準配備的.
4).  高ISO達3200 , 如果是跟D90同一塊CMOS...真的是放很大...這一款就很優質了
5).  懷疑: Nikon最近的手法好像挺厲害ㄉ一, 我認為一些消息是nikon 先偷偷放出來的
       從D3/D300/D700  ...到D5000, 都有走漏的照片... 先漏一些照片跟規格
       網路上就一大票人跟著炒(我現在就是.....哈哈) , 引起話題.... 好樣的! 夠奸詐!
       (PS: 最下面的照片才有鬼, 有個帥氣的MD拿新機在拍照....這樣也流的出來 , 可點進去看大圖)

6).  我感覺最奇怪的一個外型, 就是觀景窗的size 不大對, 如果今天真的D5000以這樣的外型出線
       大家就不要急著買貴貴的全幅機 ex D3/D700 & 無敵兔 A900..
       那個觀景窗的外型跟size 跟D700 很像ㄟ , 我認為Nikon 有很大的陰謀啊...
       不急不急, 今天就看到新機 , 接著就很熱鬧囉 ,
       趕緊拉沙發過來, 帶包蝦味先跟可樂等著看好戲!!
     

link from Nikon Rumor

Why does it look like a full frame camera (viewfinder size)?
 I remember at one point I received a rumor that the new built-in flash will be bigger, and will swivel - something like the SB-400.
 I also see a mic on top of the D5000 label.

I received this link to a dpreview thread about the new Nikon camera that leaked few days ago.

On page six at the bottom you will find this picture:

My first impression was that the viewfinder is too big for an entry level Nikon DSLR but then I tried to find exactly what camera this could be.

Note that the display swivels to the south (exactly like the camera on the spy shot),

not to the east like this Olympus. I checked also this Sony but the swivel mechanism is different.

The Nikon P90 looks different too. The camera looks too big to be a point and shoot.

Another interesting fact is that the name of the dpreview poster sounds Eastern European (the spy shots from few days ago came from Dubrovnik).

Can someone identify this camera, maybe I am just missing the obvious?

What I could read from the Google translation (can somebody get us a better translation please?):

• Bali-angle LCD, 2.7 inch?
• D movie image editing and enhanced scene mode
• Silent Mode AF
• 11-point target tracking AF 
• ISO3200high sensitivity support
