Motorola's event on the 11th of July is fake ....

The Moto X rumors have been ramping up over the past weeks, complete with leaked images and specs and Google’s own teaser advertisements for the handset. Among the rumors was word that a private press event was slated for July 11th, but that speculation can finally be laid to rest: Motorola has confirmed that this is false.

The rumor started a tad after Motorola launched its teaser advertisement for the Moto X last week, in doing so confirming the handset. Shortly after this, word surfaced in a few places alleging that a press event would be held on July 11, revealing some details for the handset. Others, basing off these rumors, interpreted the “X” and “I” shapes made by the individuals in the image above as confirmation of this.

The rumor took off, however, after tech blogger Leo Laporte confirmed that a private event was going to be held on that day for “50 or so press members.” Our friends at Android Community reached out to Motorola for more information, and the company responded with some clarity: the speculation is nothing more than a rumor that got carried away.

As it turns out, Guy Kawaksaki of former Apple evangelism fame – now a Motorola employee – is holding a gathering for his own friends, and there won’t be any product announcements or launches during it. As such, the rumor can officially be put to rest. Motorola has no plans for July 11th, and we’ll have to wait for official word on when it does plan to launch the handset.

Given the nature of the handset, when a press date is set for the Moto X, we’ll be hearing about it well in advance of its date, so no worries.

Nikon 850 gets leaked ......does the top feature a hybrid EVF?

Obtained by NikonRumors , these two leaked press images give us the first look into what the Nikon D850 actually looks like . TL:DR - Nikon D850 has a larger penta-prism buldge on top , and it no longer features a pop up flash . The bulge will feature connectivity options (Wifi ? Bluetooth and NFC? GPS?) rather than a hybrid EVF(as rumored by many) as locking up the mirror for on sensor detection is still in its infancy ) . Nikon will implement this technology in the future once the tech improves and costs drop down , but by that time they will just feature a Mirrorless lineup as well. Although the new D850 shares the same DNA as its predecessor ,The first leaked images show us that the buttons are now illuminated , this is great for all those "Astrographers" who struggle with finding which is which on the 810 series as backlighting was left out .
