A reader wrote us about the next release from Nikon @ Photokina:
24mm 1.4 AF-S
35mm 1.4 AF-S
50mm 1.4 AF-S
85mm 1.4 AF-S
all “G” but not DXs not as sure about the 35mm as the others
No meaty info on D90 yet stay tuned. Should be D300 chip in more prosumer body with live view
D3x very evolutionary not as much revolutionary and will be same as D3 with the exception of the cmos size which you are correct about. Noise reduction and usability of high isos will take another radical jump from present gear
I think we will see the D3x and primes announced at Photokina. The 70-200 should be there too. There is also an 80-400 replacement (AF-S) on the blocks but my guess would be that it will be introduced along with D90. I think the D90 is a PMA (feb) deal but it seems like D80 are out of stock all over. This isn’t unusual though as occasionally Nikon will miss the mark with how long supply will last
