The camera made waves by accident, now will it make waves for real?

I just heard this on the October 31 episode of [1] Photoshop TV: Nikon had apparently posted information on its brand-new D200 camera by accident, quickly pulled the page but not before the information was able to spread around the world. Doesn’t it seem the Internet always turns little mistakes like these into global rumor grist?

Well, I just visited the [2] Nikon USA Web site and it looks like the D200 is almost out of the gate: [3] click here for the official page.

The D200 has 10.2 megapixels and the body is $1,700, so look for it to be a popular camera for professionals and high-end prosumers. Look for a release date sometime next month.
