Whether or not they'll announce it tomorrow, the image is a photochop job. The logo and the flash mechanism looks off perspective to the rest of the camera. From there it also looks like a D300 shrunken down a bit.
Yeah the fact that there is a 'mode' button next to the shutter release, and a function dial with MASP modes on the left, pretty much gives it away that it isn't the real thing.
Definitely not a shrunken D300. Take one look at the focus mode switch and that is obvious - both the D200 and D300 have C, S, and M options (continuous focus, single focus, and manual focus) while this presents only AF and M options with no differentiation between the continuous and single options.
Honestly I concur with your 'shopped assessment (the flash mechanism does seem subtly off in perspective, and that style of Dx0 badge hasn't been used since the D70) but I don't think the D300 was the base image. Maybe the new D60's press shots were used as a base for this?
Probably a Photoshopped D300. Definitely a PS job though. That D90 logo is very fishy looking. Plus, the area around the logo looks a bit patchy, like a bad copy/paste job. I call fake.
I upsets me that you guys keep posting fake images when you know that they are obvously fake just so you have an image to go along with the story. I mean come on, the left hand side is so poorly cloned that it looks like it's melted.
I believe you guys are aware of how many other sites post your stories in real time. So you guys are basically a news organization, like it or not. Credibility should be a concern.

I concur, this image has been 'shopped!
Still looking forward to the D90 though.

Total Photoshop Chop - look at the 9 in D90, it doesn't match the D or the 0.
It's not a D300; it doesn't match mine in several areas...
