The Nikon D200 "leaked info"
From dpreview.com;
Thursday, 27 October 2005 Website security 101 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.

Leakvertising ... (Was: The Nikon D200 "leaked info")

(23:20 GMT) 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. |
