With the purchase of two pre-owned D700 cameras earlier this year, plus one pre-owned and two new Nikkors, and a second Nikon A, I am not sitting on any money in anticipation of Photokina announcements! (My wife claimed the first Nikon A that I bought, which was OK; she was entitled, being the mentor who guided me into SLR photography.) I might have been interested in a D300s successor, but with my move toward Nikon FX, while continuing to use cropped-frame Canons, (both 1.6x APS-C and 1.3x APS-H,) my interest Nikon "pro DX" was waned.
With the Df, D4s, and especially the D810 being newly-delivered, I was not expecting any new FX camera announcements for a while, so the D750 was a surprise. It will be interesting to see what it will be, but until I determine which direction my shooting might take after I retire in the next one to four years, it will be difficult to know which new FX camera will be the best choice. Will it be the D4s for rugged outdoor shooting in this wet, tropical corner of Texas, a D810 for landscapes and seascapes, a Df for being the old guy walking around with a camera, or a D750, for whatever it may be best suited?
It will be nice to have choices!
Having said that, my existing gear is quite good, especially my lenses and flashes. I prioritized lenses, Speedlites, and Speedlights in 2012 and 2013. Good glass and good lighting keep my older cameras relevant. Photokina will be interesting, of course, but my end-of-year income bump might be spent on another 600EX-RT and another SB-910.
