This is unconfirmed, but looks plausible. Here’s the 2009 roadmap:
August 4 introduction: (Apparently the end of July presentation is for compact cameras)
- Nikon D3000
- Nikon D300s with Full-HD movie 24 fps, improved AF, self timer + mirror-up, cf + sd-slot
- AF-S DX 17-65/3.2-4 G VR with 72(!) mm filter
October 15 presentation:
- Nikon D700x with 24.5 MP, Full-HD movie 24 fps, improved AF and self timer + mirror-up
- AF-S Nikkor 24-135mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR (The FX-dream-walk-around-lens?)
- AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II (What everybody waited for! 82 mm filter, 1530 g)
- AF-S Nikkor 35mm f/1.4G
- AF-S Nikkor 85mm f/1.4G (No VR?)
What are you holding out for, Les? I feel like a remote villager who was perfectly happy until he was told what he was missing.
Just curious mostly, but I’m looking forward to reading reviews of the D3000, which is the D40 replacement. I’m not in a hurry to replace mine, but one day I will.
