where there’s smoke there’s fire

I know there is someone out there with a D400 prototype in their hands. PLEASE SEND US A SIGN! (just like with the D90). Maybe a small leak from Nikon? On ways to send anonymous tips click here.

We are all listening…

Sony A800:

• 15.2Mpx APS-C CMOS Exmor “R” sensor
• ISO 100-12.800
• 6.5 frame per second
• New high speed flash sync
• 9 double cross f/2.8 AF sensor (23 total AF sensor)
• New metering and AF sensor with tracking and previous focus
• Dual AF Ultra-Speed motor (?)
• Wi-Fi built-in
• Will be announced on PMA09 and launch on April with 3 new DT lenses…

If true, this sensor could be the base of the D400. This could also mean that we may not see the D400 at PMA, since last time with the D3x Sony got few months lead before Nikon can release a camera in the same class.

Two hints submitted by readers (thanks!):

For several days now the reputable German dealer dnet24.de (official Nikon dealer) – states at their D300 body only page “sol. Vorrat reicht” = “as long as stock lasts” – why would they have limited number of D300 in stock?

Another site is selling a screen protector for D400 (the image says Canon?).
