let see this link below.https://www.impressjapan.jp/pr/monitor/1113_dcm/271301_free.pdf
Nikon imaging company's general manager for marketing :Nobuaki Sasagaki seems to say "D300S and D7000 successors would be replaced as a New generation model of D7000" and it would be new DX flagship model.
I guess Nikon does not think to release D400 as a DX flagship model at this moment.
sorry for my terrible English.
anyone for a translate of the document please ?

Now that we hear the rumor of the D800 size body with the D4 sensor....and the D7000 replacement will be in place of both D300s and D7000....things are getting interesting. Maybe that D800 size body with the D4 sensor will actually be the D400 replacement. I could handle this as in DX crop mode it will still be super. But, maybe what is really going to happen is a compact DX size D4 sensor.....yeah! 16 MP.

@ sevencrossing.....
Well, actually I was thinking that at some point Nikon may not have a pro DX body. Instead an FX sensor which will have the 16MP in DX crop mode, ISO of 12,800, and 8-10 FPS may be in the making as the replacement for the "DX Pro".
My suspicion is that the small size of the original DX sensor was an economic consideration on the D1. If I am correct in the 1990's the Kodak digital back was about USD $15,000 and was only about 15 MP. As time has passed the ability to produce far superior sensors at far less cost has now resulted in the D600. And, it would seem to me to be a natural function to return to the format size we started with, i.e., full 24mm X 36mm frame size.
But, one other factor comes in...the eventual disappearance of the mirror. Once the technology to obtain continuos servo focus at or better than that achieved by the D4 today, and do this electronically with no mirror. I suspect the DSLR will be a thing of the past.
We do not really know what Nikon and Canon are doing behind closed doors. But, the mirrorless camera with a DX or FX sensor will be seen fairly soon by both companies IMO.
So, the idea of the hybrid D7000/D300s reborn into a new DX DSLR would make sense if Nikon is preparing to introduce a new camera line of mirrorless full frame or crop sensor cameras.

Good point. In which case the D4/D800 could be the last of this style of DSLR at the Pro level.
The size of the lens will come down too especially for the wide end.

yes, for one we agree, I think it will be called the D900 :) and we may see it in 2014

but will it be easier for Nikon to make a mirrorless DX rather than a mirrorless FX

Whatever, it'll be too big/small, too many/few MP, too heavy/light, too noisy/clean at high ISO, wrong body shape/great body shape, and last of all it doesn't look like a DSLR/looks like a XXX (insert brand you personally hate), so all of us will have a happy 2013 complaining about it here!
Happy whatever you celebrate at this time of year - and we all survived the Mayan thing, so be happy. :-)

@ bjrichus
LOL.....but, we can always hope that Nikon will out do the Sony/Fuji cameras and at a price we can actually get one. The mention of the Mayan thing....in a strange way related to the idea Nikon is actually going to give us a camera......
