Every once in a while someone will post something like this:

"there's been talk of XXX being introduced, but no one knows exactly when..."

My question is - what web sites deal in speculation about future products? I'm always interested in knowing what may be coming out in the near future even if I'm not in the buying market at that time.

Your best chances would be with dating a Nikon engineer...
For the rest it is hard to know where rumours first will pop up, and how reliable they are.

For instance, talk was about a very vague rumour of a Nikon D60 (which did not make much sense). And a few days later a D40x pops up.
Not very reliable...

Thom Hogan does post predictions, but his predictions get kinda stale. In the past he had a fairly successful accuracy rate - even though he claims very little insider info.

Well then give her a Canon engineer and you get the Nikon engineer. Seems to me like you would be getting the better end of the deal there!:D :p
