No, I meant D700/D3. The D700 is basically a D3 in a smaller body. Same sensor, AF system, metering, viewfinder, etc. The D300 necessarily has a different sensor to get the same Mpx into a smaller size but it does have the same AF system.
The D500 is pretty much the new D300 but I want the new D700 that is a full frame D5 in a D700-like body, with no compromise on sensor or AF or metering. 4k video can go if that is what it takes to make it viable as a high-end semi-pro stills camera without a huge battery. If they put a different sensor in it then they lose the point - it's a stepping stone into pro camera gear at a relatively affordable price that will get potential enthusiasts hooked. It would make a great partner for the D810, especially if it shared the same batteries and charger. With all of those parts and systems common to other current models it would have to be relatively cheap and to manufacture and quick to reach market.

I misread what you said, my apologies. You said "it's time" and I thought you said "this time", which changes everything 'It's time' I had my coffee haha, I can't read today.
Most interesting will be what they do to the D810 replacement. Too much resolution, and they pretty much have to offer a lower resolution variant because very few people want, say, 50MP. Stick with what they have now (36 MP all-rounder), and it's going to work for many, but not all, and there is no option for lower resolution with the same "pro" control layout. Personally I hope they don't change the D810 successor's resolution by much, but add all the obvious things (CAM20K, 180K RGB meter, etc.) along with 2-3 more FPS. That still leaves questions above and below it though. Interesting times.
