Wouldn't it be funny if it were a Nikon announcement, and it was the D80 replacement. I'd actually be excited since we didn't talk about it.... no matter how obvious the specs might seem.
not me, I'd be rather disappointed, although I wont be able to afford a D700 anytime soon.
Some larger scans here from the German mag - note the differences between this and the D300 body. Diopter on the side, change of position of metering mode switch, addition of info button on bottom right. Lack of CF door open lever (looks like it's a slide a la Canon)
New flash looks quite different - slimmer and less boxy than the SB800, but can't see the back yet. The mech around the swivel area looks very different so hopeful of proper 360 degree here.
I can't imagine selling off my 70-200vr with the TC and the 18-200vr just to get one frankly. I've been more than pleased thus far with the D300's results. If I was disgruntled about something it might be more attractive. Also my bank account is pretty exhausted to begin with, so even the thoughts of a D3 will have to wait a very long time........
Is it possible?
