It does not make a practical difference.

The name of the blog is "nikonrumors", not Nikon information I've researched and confirmed. Most rumors have some merit. Post them all and let us readers decide what's real and what's not. Ignore the sour pusses that always have something negative to say. Let them get their own blog.

This would enable us to record slowmotion footage in HD. I know that it is a D-SLR first but this would be much appreciated by filmes as HD camcorder with slowmotion (and the rest of the advantages of the big sensor) aren't cheap to get. If they add the option to use auto-focus (filming sports with manual focus is really hard) and a mic-in jack i'll buy one :) Adding 1080p with 24 or 30 fps AND the ability to record 720p with 60 fps would be a killer feature.

Points I like to emphasize: ---For video, 24 fps should be there but Nikon should also offer 30 and 60 fps. Same for 1080p, Nikon should offer 720p, etc. ---100% viewfinder coverage should be there. And yes, magnification at 0.80x. ---AF and fps should be the same as for the D700 but this new version will have more megapixels so it would be an improvement. ---The time video will be on every single P&S and DSLRs is coming very soon. Nikon, do it now instead of waiting for Canon and Company to do it before you. It is a huge sale incentive for many would be buyers, no matter the purists who do not want video.

In the top of his article he estimates $3,299. At the bottom he says: $4,399 Also here is something I wonder: "The D3X was announced on 01 July 2008, meaning I'd expect the D700x to be announced in the summer of 2009 and ship at the end of 2009." - D3X announced on 01 July 2008 ??? Did I miss something ??? It was announced on 01 December 2008, and almost inmediately available. This Ken makes me smile…

Mpx wise.... I have a D200 which is ~10Mpx. If you're shooting stock then this really is scraping the bottom of the barrel as most traditional libraries prefer A3+ i.e. 50Mb files these days. With the D700 being 12Mpx, you could possibly fall below this if cropping. So although I don't think 21/24Mpx+ is necessary, it would be good to get up to the mid-high teens e.g. ~16Mpx Yikes, why are people getting up tight all of a sudden……

This "I want higher pixel count" craziness need sto stop. Why not get a medium format camera and a decent scanner if you are so into ultra sharpness? It will take long long time before DSLR can catch up to that! Maybe D700 is not perfect for you but perfect for others who want better ISO performance.
