There are more rumours of the D400 coming out. See here. http://nikonrumors.com/2012/06/13/some-fresh-nikon-d400-rumors.aspx/ I tend to agree that it makes little sense to release 4 new DX cameras so maybe something needs to give. I havent a clue which one of the potential four I would drop as they all have relevance so maybe Nikon will indeeed release four new cameras. For me the D400 has come too late. The information if not the camera should have been released at the same time as the D800. The D400 with 24MP will be a pleaser as the file size is smaller than the D800 but will have the same denaity of pixels so it will require good glass and careful use.

The glass will be slightly less demanding JK, especially if you are using FX glass because you are using the centre portion of the image circle which tends to be better and less prone to edge drop off. I haven't quite figured out if it is more or less prone to shake? Too early and not woken properly yet. My gut instinct says it will be more prone to shake *per pixel* because of the Focal length multiplication factor of 1.5. Whether the overall image will suffer is a moot point when it's resized to 1024 pixels on the long edge.

I think the D200 was iconic in it's day, the D300 less so, but I can't see Nikon moving away from this slot. I must say I am expecting the D400 to be a great camera.

Well I dont think I will be getting one. I have all the DSLRs I need/want/desire with the D3S, D3 and D800. What I am sure about is that it will be a very good camera if it is as good as the D800.

Boy, I think the d300s was groundbreakingly GREAT Cleaned up all the shortcomings of the D200 (not that many) and has been a real workhorse for me... Especially live view button... Tom

I was frequently disappointed with results from the D300 but this was probably because I was judging it against the D3 and D700.

Well, it was certainly not the camera to use for indoor architectural photography. But it was fantastic with telephoto lenses

I thought the D200 was 98% of the camera that the D2x was, and possible a better model than the D2h but I think there has always been clear water between the D3 series and the D300. I have no doubt that the D300 (particularly the 's') was a big step forward over the D200. Perhaps it's because I own a D200 and have a real soft spot for it, most of my photos where taken with it, but I never felt that the D300 was quite as good a value proposition.

But I didnt think much of the D2X in the first place...it was a stop gap till Nikon got the FX sensor working....and sorted out noise! Yes there is clear water between D3 and D300 ...but it is still a better performer than the D200 in several ways. Its this fact that has delayed the arrival of its successor for so long.

No doubt the D300 is a better camera, but compared to it's peer group at the time (not just Nikon, but Canon et al) I still believe the D200 stood apart in a way the D300 didn't. I'm not for one second saying it was a better camera but give that it was a whole generation earlier, at the time it came out I think it stood out from the crowd as a great buy in a way the 300 never managed. But however you rate the two models I think this niche is an important one for Nikon and I hope they bring out a D400 that really knocks our socks off.
