However if Nikon doesn't quickly release a VR version of the 300 F4 and an AFS version of the 80-400 (100-500 would be preferred), then I think it will push a lot of people (me included) to the new Sigma lenses.

i believe the d90 (and maybe some pro-model(s)) COULD be announced at the IFA-fair (consumer electronics) in germany. this fair ends at september, 3rd. and at this date there should be a nikon-press-conference…

my hope:
announcement at sept., 3rd.
availability: around the end of september (photokina-fair – also in germany)

that’d be great…

and I don’t care about the new DSLR but I do hope the new release lens – 70-200mm f2.8 VRII Nano lol

Not a big deal but when it turned out he was right on the money for the D3 I went back and tried to find the blog again but couldn't find it. What's interesting is that he had also described the modular camera that keeps popping up in rumors and described a 12Mp module and a super high ISO B&W module. I don't think there will be a D3x because when asked at a press conference why the D3 was D3 and not D3h a Nikon spokesperson stated that there will not be a D3x.<br />If a modular camera did come out it would be outside the D# series family since its design differs radically. Plus a sports photog does not need more than 12Mp (few photographers do).<br />The press conference transcripts may still be up somewhere, I'll see if I can find them and post.

Probably to be announced at Photokina.<br />-D800 (or 900) 24Mp FX (sony sensor from A900) D700 style body probably to be announced in September<br />-D90 12Mp DX (same as D300) hopefully August most likely just prior to Photokina.<br /><br />*also thrown into the mix will be a 70-200 f/2.8 update (expect that Nikon will put the lens hands of many a photog at the olympics), 50mm f/1.4 (or 1.2) AF-S, 35mm f/1.4 AF-S (I hope this one is true) and 85mm f/1.4 AF-S.<br /><br />I don't know if Nikon has the production capacity to handle all this new stuff but at the same time their D70 onwards have had such huge market share in sales that its not out of the realm of possibility. I just hope that if all this stuff does come out that we don't see any quality control issues like what Canon has had on their bodies and lenses over the last couple of years. Here is my take:
-New flagship (not called D3x, Nikon already said no D3x hence D3 not D3h) will be a modular design with swappable sensors. 1st three sensors 12Mp FX, 24Mp FX, 6Mp FX B&W ISO 51200. Probably to be announced at Photokina.
-D800 (or 900) 24Mp FX (sony sensor from A900) D700 style body probably to be announced in September
-D90 12Mp DX (same as D300) hopefully August most likely just prior to Photokina.

*also thrown into the mix will be a 70-200 f/2.8 update (expect that Nikon will put the lens hands of many a photog at the olympics), 50mm f/1.4 (or 1.2) AF-S, 35mm f/1.4 AF-S (I hope this one is true) and 85mm f/1.4 AF-S.

I don’t know if Nikon has the production capacity to handle all this new stuff but at the same time their D70 onwards have had such huge market share in sales that its not out of the realm of possibility. I just hope that if all this stuff does come out that we don’t see any quality control issues like what Canon has had on their bodies and lenses over the last couple of years.
