The camera in the picture is a D3X I have found a link with wath I think the matching photo http://www.nikon.nl/product/nl_NL/views/1726/broad/resources/g==/EQR0wVkEik~CSd38AHbxRCaa4bMa0DnI/_rgCYZ0bpI0ec2ERhwhjjmY9wWSH9xDn/Pf8PSePIUK9Fth7Q40oPV.jpg.html

I’m from Malaysia as well. Chances are slim, but announces and PR *may* be possible.

A single digit Pro body announcement would do well in promoting entry level body sales. Better flagship model = better brand has always been the mentality here. Will be interesting to see what would happen.

Another D3x owner recognizing my own camera in that picture… It COULD reasonably be a D3s (you can’t tell what the letter after D3 is), but if so, the D3s body is unchanged from the D3/D3x body (likely anyway), and it could just as easily be a D3x (which we’ve known about for a year, and I’ve taken 14,000 images with)… What I’m excited about is the lenses – the 16-35 will find a place in my bag if the optical quality is superb (I assume its front element will be less bulbous than the 14-24, which I don’t own because I worry about damaging it in the field), and I’ll look seriously at the 100-500 as well…

I think we all agree on that, the question is what lenses and what will be the second camera?

If you read between the lines, Nikon releases show the camera / lenses as a system for different applications or solutions. They are never a one off product or a knee jerk reaction to competition. Eg.

D3 with 5 new lenses. PJs and Sports photo can instantly switch to Nikon without skipping a click.

The D300 tells the market DX is there to stay.

This mid Oct release is looking to be very promising of Nikon’s direction.

again, similar to the previous post about the expo in Paris: I do not expect the announcement to happened AT the event, BUT they can use the event to show and do some PR on the new product and this is the perfect timing with expos scheduled across the world in the 2nd-3rd week of Oct.

On this image you can see a D3x without a s at the end. If you go to this page http://www.nikon.com.my/index.php you can find the same picture (here posted) for the nikon show above of it is the same a second time. Look at the image for the Nikon pro magazine.

“I’d prefer a compact 200mm f/5.6 prime if existed.”
Is this compact enough:

I need the D700x, not another 12mp incarnation. I own a D300 which is 12mp too. Why bother with FX unless it’s worth the investment, since for landscapes high-iso performance is not on the priority list. Clean low-iso & usable med-iso is more important. It must be 20mp at least to decide for the jump. It must be relatively affordable and compact. Anyway even a D700-type body is far from being compact, but necessary to balance the lenses. Because don’t want to carry a bulky 300mm, a usable DX crop of 200mm focal is important. I’d prefer a compact 200mm f/5.6 prime if existed.

Who says pixel-count is not important, but hight iso performance is; then they must kindly answer this question: If Nikon launches a new FX camera tomorrow, say D600 for $2500 which is only 6mp but thanks to larger photosites it delivers absolutely noise-free images at ISO 3200, whould you prefer to D700 and buy it?

Looks like a D3-something H or S? Looks like the 85mm f/1.4 lens too. Hope that’s proof of a the long awaited update!

Here’s the D3X and 85mm f/1.4 for reference
