Nice shot Iain.
If you clone out the partially hidden bird this will make it into an outstanding shot IMHO. It is very good anyway!

Latest thoughts in the D400/D7000 replacement saga.

This seems an emminently reasonable theory but I would hate to try and double guess Nikon.

For wide angle lens users FX is great but if you like telephotos then DX is an easier way to get the longer lenses for less weight.
However since most users are in the 24-105mm FX range then it becomes an issue of cost and current lenses versus buying more rather than a real forcing of DX v FX choice.
The more I consider this the more I like my Fuji XPro1 and a 18-55 zoom for small size, low weight and high quality. If it had DSLR AF speed of focus I would be with real problems!!

As I said earlier...make the D7000 focus as fast as the D300 ( or latest pro models ) and they wouldn't need a D400!

o.O

That would need a new AF unit like the one found in the D800 or D4.

Exactly... just a component swap.

nikon rumors suggests a forthcoming price drop on the d800 hopefully it will carry on down the line ,i still think there seeing how far they can push this new 24mp sensor i.e the d5200 via feedback and once thats sorted something either d7100 or d400 will follow .
you can bet theres something out there being tested already its just not been spotted yet :fishing:

But Nikon won't put a top component in a consumer body, it cheapens the top camera and is wasted in the consumer camera. (In their eyes)

Why so?
There are many comparable performance factors in the D200 v D2X and D300 v D3 which suggests prior art.

I'd say that critical item for any camera is the AF unit and it should be an item that is not skimped on. In reality if the image isnt sharp it is half way to waste bin!
