Default Wireless support and battery grip for D80? (UPDATED with new D80 leak)
Well, aside from the live preview jokes and other junk that have been floating around, this link @ Nikon Japan was pointed out by a poster on dpreview.



While clicking on the links doesn't bring up anything new or unseen, the fact that "MB-D80" and "D80 usage" after "WT-3" appear seem to indicate that the D80 will support both wireless transmission and have a battery grip.* This is pretty cool news, though I don't know how many D80 users are going to be using the wireless feature.* (Now where's my D3H with low resolution and built-in wireless for speedy workflows?)

Heheheh, so is mine. I was using my forgotten knowledge of Chinese characters to transition to Japanese, LOL.

As for Japanese, I know "Good Morning", "Thank You", "Sorry", and something that approximates "Damn You!!!!!!" but isn't quite right.

It's gone on the page now. WT-3 just says "D200 use" and MB-D80 is nowhere to be seen. Dpreview posters speculate that this is proof that Nikon reads their forum. LOL

I checked their actual site and the imformation is no longer available, so probably an site administrator posted information not intended, or it is just an teaser to make people wanna know more.

My guess is that it was either an (1) accident (seems to happen a lot with Nikon... sooooo) or (2) "accident" (leak).
