Next week Nikon is rumored to announce their Nikon D5 and D500 100th anniversary limited edition sets that were on display at the CP+ show in February. The official announcement could be tomorrow, April 3rd. The new financial year just started for Nikon and I expect several more announcements to happen soon.
Update: see the official announcement here.

A quick update: so far I have reported the replacement of the Nikon D7200 camera as the D7300 assuming that Nikon will follow their existing D7xxx naming convention. Well, they will not – the D7200 replacement will most likely be called Nikon D7500 – probably to go with the D500 since both models will have the same sensor. I stopped trying to make sense of Nikon naming convention a long time ago.
I changed the name of the new Facebook page to Nikon D7500.
