I thought the pressure from the 5DII was bigger on Nikon, so they would update the D700. The 50D is not really a big competitor for the D300 since it also does not record movies. And also the D90 with the crippled movie mode could not really be a big competitor for the D300, could it? Yes, but don’t consumers love the summer holiday for taking photos?

The the D400 (or D700x) around November for the Christmas rush. Pros buy anytime - consumers love Xmas...

While there is a $100 instant rebate, it's still $1700, which I think is pretty high for a body this old (available in the US as of November 2007) At one point (probably around Christmas), it had sold for as little as $1486. With a price still this high, I wonder if it is truly disappearing soon. Of course if the D400 is only a trivial upgrade and uses the same assembly line, then it could be a case of Nikon not manufacturing any new D300s.

I saw the Nikon May specials dealer sheet and the D300's $100 instant rebate is not being continued past 05/02. The D700 continued the $300 instant rebate for the month of May. Something to consider.

The we may see the D400 un time for late summer or fall. I REALLY hope so!!! If there is any truth to these two:
