I'd definitely settle for a 18MP but the current Nikon trend is seemingly 24MP so that is what I would expect.
The next thing is to get better high ISO performance at 6400 ISO.
After that I am saturated...
I have m fast lenses in the range I want. I have all the cameras for my needs and jobs.

Video what's that? :lol:

What next ? Better technique and execution plus more opportunities!

Dont think that an articulated LCD will come in a Pro level camera.
Too easily broken when used in everyday action.

Here we go again! I too could be interested in a D400 provided it keeps no more than MP18.

I think the market is getting flooded with too many cameras and not enough people interested in parting with cash. Times are hard so perhaps Nikon will hold off with D400 or even not bring it out.

I'm with you, Graham...smaller MP count, larger pixels, lower noise !!!

Not that the D300s is horrible given the 1.5x factor...

If the d7100 had better buffer, I suspect we wouldn't be having this conversation. Unless I misunderstand the situation it's the only thing that's keeping the D7100 from BEING the D400.

Have being using the D7000 a fair amount last couple of weeks on tele work and have changed my opinion a tad on this older model.

Although its still slow to acquire and shoot, compared to other pro and prosumer models, for 95% of the time it's perfectly acceptable.

If the D7100 has improved in these areas I may well upgrade when I return home. I rarely use the buffer capacity anyway, so it's not an issue. If I am shooting subjects that demand better performance in this area....I use the D3.

Eric-

I really have never considered the 7000 or 7100 as I had the impression that the build was more like a D40 upgraded than a D300 substitute.

Am I wrong? If is can take the weather in your side of the world, I probably should consider it :-)

I'd tend to agree with Eric but for me I need the buffer as I shoot sequences for my flamenco shoots and also I want the 10 pin interface as all my control accessories use this interface.

I agree D~~ and D~~~~ cameras were always specced below D~ and D~~~ in a few important areas

I'm not sure if this is still the case but compare

Body materials
Weatherproofing
Buffer
PC sync socket
10 pin remote socket
Style of strap lugs
Number of frames available in bracketing mode
Viewfinder brightness
Viewfinder percentage
Separate af-on/ae-l buttons
Number of customisable buttons
Top LCD
Style of viewfinder (circular on D~ models)
Shutter rating
Shutter release performance
Shutter materials?

That's just from memory so there might be a few more

I think D600 is a bit of an anomaly here with several serious limitations including limited bracketing
