I guess something is happening really soon from now — looking at all the rumors. We can expect an announcement within the next 2 months and expect availability within the next four months. It will be a Nikon D3 with full frame sensor — as I can’t believe that anyone with sense would introduce another frame format with 1.1 crop factor. Some rumors believe the camera will be good at low light level which translates to hi ISO values for the 18.7 million pixels.
