But the name sounds unlikely. There's just not enough space on the left hand side of the camera for 5 chars/digits... To me, the camera seems to be real, after all. But the name sounds unlikely.

But another is that consumers are increasingly expecting HD video even on DSLRs. That would be the reason for the fold out screen I would think. Given that it is a low end camera we are not likely to see a new lens launched along with it, or at any rate nothing that is not a kit lens. But as Ken Rockwell will point out at length, light is good. The 10-24 lens is a very logical choice for Nikon. It makes the DX line a complete, lightweight alternative to the FX range. But Nikon does not launch a $900+ lens with a $500 camera. So I would expect that lens to come out with the D400 whenever it arrives. If Nikon would also refresh the 80-400 it would make the DX range a very powerful option in its own right (to the great annoyance of certain FX-ers). Three lenses (10-24, 18-200, 80-400) would give you complete coverage equivalent to 15-600 mm full frame with a lot of overlap. The 80-400 is a full frame FX lens of course, but it is also a variable aperture design that fits rather well with Nikon's other high end VA lenses. One reason is that the D40/D60 are old.

Don't need no 10fps machineguns, bracketing nor video, and the swivel screen is very useful when shooting overhead while standing in a crowd at a concert.

It'll probably have the same movie mode, but 12MP CMOS and less focus points or something. I’m guessing that a T1 will come out to complement the T1i, like how the XS came out after the XSi.

I love my little D40 but it's quite a bit behind the new Canon 500D in terms of raw numbers--MP, movie mode, FPS, AF, etc. I am a testament to the fact that it's only later into the hobby that one becomes concerned with IQ; I bought my D40 blindly (luckily!) over the Olympus E-420 without knowing anything about the fact that the Nikon system was far bigger, but now I'm just waiting for the right body and lenses to come along.

But in high tripod use it would great to angle the LCD downwards. To me it looks like a slide-out and tilts upwards only. The screen seems to be aligned with camera in NEARLY every photo, BUT in this one the camera seems to be tilted to the left and LCD is tilted to the right ! http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/925/87552346.jpg There's still some hope for two-axis freedom, please please please... Oh, and Ii would be nice if the user could manually mirror the image on the screen if the AI gets confused. I have had that annoying thing in some situations with two-axis 180 degree LCD.
