Nikon concept cameras surface, spark rumor mill

Is the future of photography painted in Kubrick white? It is if you
believe Nikon and Canon. We've seen the latter's concept in much more
detail, and now a handful of pics from the Nikon Sapporo Showroom have
surfaced, showcasing at least one similarly unpigmented design. The
other two models, snapped and found via burner-images, look like more
run-of-the-mill DSLRs, but the one that's causing a stir online is the
all-white model that originated from DCHome forums. The original
poster chimes in to say it might be the EVIL camera, but we're not
exactly convinced. For starters, the body doesn't look much smaller or
different than the rest of its lineup -- not exactly what we'd expect
for a "new market" product, as the company reportedly wants its
mirrorless shooter to be. Additionally, as noted by a number of Nikon
Rumors commenters, that apparently 18-55mm lens implies it's rocking
an APS-C sensor. Of course, if we saw the other side, we could see
whether or not it had a viewfinder, which does narrow down the
possibilities. So in conclusion, we still don't know what it is, or if
we ever will with any certainty, but we're making an educated guess as
to what it isn't. Got that? Good.
