Yes it looks like a fine entry level camera that does a whole heap more. Maybe the wait for the D400 will be worthwhile if they manage to keep the cost reasonable and have 24MP

I wonder how it will perform against the D7000 in terms of IQ?

I have alaways shied away from the smaller camera bodies but having worked with the X100 for a while I have become accustomed to holding the smaller camera differently. So the D7000 isnt the pain it first was. I wonder if (when compared to the X100) even the D3200 might be a lightweight walkaround option.

It all boils down to image quality.

I think the problem with using say a D3 and also a 'lesser' camera is that you always want some of the features of the better camera to be present on the lesser one.

For example on the D300 an D700 I really miss the ability to loch shutter and aperture when in Manual shooting mode.

Well I was thinking more of having nothing more than D3 IQ and noise control in a 'near pocket size' body for walking around, down the shops, family holidays.

Under those situations the need for the special features or indeed the inclination to use them becomes subordinate.

As photographers we should be able to take any camera given a degree of manual control,a good lens....povided the sensor and cameras basic functions are good enough.

What the X100 has taught me is that, despite being a great camera with excellent IQ, it can complicate shooting (due to its quirks and difference to a familiar Nikon body) to the point where the process of taking the picture intrudes into your creativity.

A small nikon body might be better?

I would be very interested to see how the D3200 IQ stands up against the D7000.

But this would indicate that Nikon are going to 24mp from base line up so I would expect the D400 to be at least that.
