well look what Nikon is doing with people who send in perfect condition cameras for warranty work.....claiming impact damage and not holding up their warranty agreements.......they're telling the customers to "shove it up your a$$!!" lol
So yeah, i wouldn't put it past Nikon to say "this is what we offer now, take it, or leave it."
I was thinking about it more, and the D600 kinda proves what i feel Nikon's thought process is...that FX is "the future" for enthusiast photographers and above....The fact that they released an FX sensor in a smaller, less expensive package, kinda shows where their thought process is....now it's hard to offer a DX camera at the same price (or more) than the D600, when SO many consumers only look at the sensor when it comes to judging a camera.....
If you're a wildlife photographer, or a sports photographer, nikon wants you to buy longer glass, or buy a camera with a crop mode, and gain your reach that way....
Of course, i know nothing, so for all of you who WANT a D400, I hope i'm wrong....i just don't think there are ENOUGH shooters who want the pro level DX bodies anymore....again, i hope i'm wrong.......Show more →

Of course the release of the D7100 and the D600 with the D400 notably absent certainly does give the impression that Nikon is pointing to FX = Pro, DX = ameture .... it worked that way in the film days but for different reasons ... I don't see that digital has to be the same way.
Also, I do think there are lots of shooters who want a pro-level DX, including many pro shooters. That Nikon does not see it or chooses to ignore it does not change the fact that they would sell lots of D400's if they would just make it already.
