Hmmm....24mp, 51pt AF, 51200 ISO...."welcome to 2013"? Hopefully that is wrong, because other than 4k (not sure that's a big enough selling point tbh) and I assume a mag alloy body I don't see a point in someone choosing that over a D7200. Or maybe they're (Nikon) counting on people buying one like sheeple "just because" the mythical D400 would finally be here after all these years.

I think we're all well into the "believe it when I see it" mindset, but strictly from an announcement time perspective, it makes sense. The new set of lenses will be announced at the end of August and in September, and Nikon likes to announce cameras with lenses when it can.

D400 with no mention of fps or buffer isn't much of an announcement.

+1

The rest of the specs are fairly inconsequential, assuming they at least fall in line with what the d7200 offers.

And pro-style control layout. And pro-level FPS burst...

I mean, really, other than build/fps/controls, what is there to differentiate a d400 from a d7200?

Detailed specs such as AF points and maximum ISO's are always the least reliable, and often end up being different when the product is revealed. That being said, I don't think a lot of people care if their DX camera has ISO 102,400 or 204,800 in the marketing materials. I couldn't care less about 4K video either, but I realize some for some people that is a big deal.

Canon welcomed us all to 2008 with some aspects of the 7D2, and they are still selling with the maximum FPS being about the only thing differentiating it from other pro-sumer bodies (though it's already down to $1,499 so maybe sales weren't that great?). Like the 7D2, I don't think the D400 needs to be a miracle camera to sell well, and everyone has their own personal wish list but I think it just needs the D750/D810 AF module, 7-8fps capability without grip, deep buffer, D7200 sensor (or whatever the latest 24MP Sony has), and a pro build. Compared to a D7200, people are just buying AF, FPS, build, and buffer. If it's just top notch image quality you want, you can get that from a D5XXX these days. If it's as successful as us enthusiasts think it will be, then maybe we'll get a D400s or D500 in a couple years. If it's a flop, we'll get a "told you so" from Nikon Marketing and no more pro DX cameras haha.

Anyway, it's fun to speculate.

Here's hoping it happens - at least for Andre's sake

Seriously though, I would be all over this for wildlife.

I'm not sure if his heart could take it

Of course I just bought the D750, but I can wait, it's not like I haven't waited years already. Maybe it'll make it's way to me in 6 months.

Interesting, that article says almost nothing in terms of specs.
