According to a post on Nikon Rumors, Nikon will be holding a product presentation in Marrakech, Morocco on October 24-26, 2011. Marrakech is an important historical center, with both a mixture of old and new world, as well as boasting one of the largest public markets in the world, Jamaa el Fna. Such a destination would provide a colorful, vibrant place to introduce a new camera such as the D800.

The D800 is rumored to be introduced on October 26, 2011. Its high resolution and low-light capabilities could easily be demonstrated in Marrakech where exotic costumes, snake charmers, magicians, gardens, cafes, and nightlife are nearly endless.
