Due out soon, but Sony required a no-compete requirement for a few months to jump start their A900 sales. I just spoke to a buddy @ Bel Air Camera who said the D3X uses the Sony chip from the A900.

Early December 2008. The D3 will drop in price as will the D700. The D300 may get an upgrade as the D90 is better than it now. This will make the 13mp D3 outstanding value as it is already hurting sales of Canon 1Ds Mk3. For Journos and sports the D3 will consolidate at US4$k and blow Canon away. The main reason is that the 24mp file sizes are just too large for pj's and unnecessary. They have what they need at 13mp. It will be D3x, 24.4mpix and the sensor is made by Kodak.

After the D2.. there's a pattern.. D2.. D2h/D2x... D3.. and obv. now a D3x. Why would Nikon come up with a D4 and skip on the nomenclature D3x ?? Also, they ALWAYS bring out a small brother with the big brother... for a Consumer market and a Prosumer market. I am sure there is going to be a D400... and following the footsteps of D700, later on a D900. I don’t understand why people go STUPID over simple things!!!

I felt I needed to respond to it. It is not a matter of coming up short for the format. The lower the pixel density, the better. The d3/d700 are about the best there are for density which is why they have the cleanest files. AS for the 5:4, I use it all the time, but it is a convenience; you're cutting pixels off when you use it. I just came here looking for news, but found the last post, instead.

The D-300 DX functions at 178 pixels / millimeter while the two FX cameras come up short at 110 pixels / mm.. The D-700 is also lacking the 5:4 (8X10, 16X20, etc) format of the D-3... Why waste pixels that you will have to crop off the FX(35mm) image? We need a 24.2 Megapixel FX/DX model and the D4 designation is a logical progression... The continuous frame rates on the D3 are more than adequate(don't waste money on speeding up the continuous frames/second... We need resolution and don't worry about storage, high density hard drives (above 500 gigabytes) are not yet a "dime a dozen" they are now cheaper than 20 MEGABYTE hard drives were when IBM released the PC/XT more than twenty-years ago....

Canon jumped from their Powershot S3is to the powershot S5is. Whatever Nikon call a new model I'm sure it will be interesting.

The verb for die is "shinu". Death is abbreviate simply as "shi" when used in compound Japanese words like "karoushi", which means to die from overwork.
