Default The Nikon D200 "leaked info"

Phil ramble: I honestly can't count the number of times I've seen a
manufacturer 'accidentally' place embargoed material on a webserver.
It happens before almost every major announcement, this year it has
happened with such predictability that you begin to question whether
it's just deliberate, designed simply to create hype. Such leaks have
occurred in the last 48 hours (twice) and were located by users keen
for information who simply used (a) a site based search engine (in the
first instance) and (b) changed a single character in a URL (in the
second instance). Please manufacturers get a grip on your webserver
security, don't upload embargoed material until the minute of
announcement and if you must make sure that it is in a password
protected area of the site and isn't indexed by your search engine.

Nikon and Canon marketing strategy is "leakvertising" some quick examples,
Canon 20D... leaked, Nikon Germany's webmaster "leaked" the D70s and D50
manuals ... Now both Nikon UK, and Nikon USA webmasters leaked the "press
photo package (UK) and USA the flash page. The USA page IMHO was a
placeholder or test page, as I believe because of economy of scale the D200
will use the 12.4 megapixel CMOS from the D2X, not the 10.3 Sony CCD as the
page would imply.
