How about an articulating LCD screen, so one could make use of the live LCD. Give me that plus the refinements of the D300 and I’ll be trading my old D200 in!

May have something to deal with 7D, most hopefully a next-generation focusing system with cross-type points on fringe.

only reason i could see a d400 soon would be if the d700 line and d300 line are being merged into a 2.5k is lighter pro camera /serious enthusiast camera but i doubt it.

Crisis is everywhere, not only europe. But as a firm you have to deal with your competition. If you have something really new to offer – it doesn’t matter if its useful or not e.g. flips – you are able to create your market. Better quality, HD-movies, 4/3rds,…

I think the publisher is ludicrous. First the publisher says “very reliable source of information that Nikon will soon announce a camera with the model name D400″ and then says “we are no recent information on whether and when Nikon will release a camera that name”. Is the “source of information” reliable or not ?

It’s not likely Nikon co. is going to launch a new prof. or prosume camera in a new future. There is a huge economical crisis in Europe mainly and things are not up to split hairs with new performances if they are not planning to recoup investments. Besides Nikon had made the choice on a segment that doesn’t need sophisticated improvements. I’m still looking press photographers with a D2, D100 camera D-3 was the top. The future for Nikon is in video performances in order to make the war to actual video production. The photo market is already full

I don’t see D400 earlier than 2011. Possibly together with D4.

perhaps they would announce the d400 and “d95″ [or whatever it will be called] together. and perhaps they would use the same sensor again for both classes.

or perhaps not. they MUST announce the d400 FIRST if the cameras will use the same sensor right… and the d95 [prolly d7000; sounds nicer] will be a 550d eater. hopefully. but in the sense that it is a cheap, clean camera with hardly any noise [instead of having pro video on a cheap body, pro images instead, on magnesium alloy mid range]

Considering the newly announced 550D I expect to see an improved D90 camera with the same 12.3 Mpx sensor but with better HI-ISO. They could call it D90s.
I’ll buy one.

Talk about putting the cart before the horse. (I wonder what the photographic equivalent of that saying would be? There is a “What the Duck” panel in this somewhere.)

the comment sounds like the publisher had been told to say that in exactly that wording. They definetely know something we don’t. I suppose Nikon forced them to deny the existence of the camera after the publisher had accidently leaked the name to Amazon. There is something in the bush guys!
