Looks like the Nikon D400 will be released later this year

[Dodging]

The saga of unreleased Nikon D400 books continues - this time it's Magic Lantern who promises a new D400 guide on September 4th, 2012. The book is currently available for pre-order on Amazon US, Amazon Germany and Amazon UK:



The timing of the book release (September 4th, 2012) is interesting because Nikon is known for making major announcements in August (D90, D7000, D3, D300). In addition, the biggest photo show Photokina starts on September 18th.
After the D3200, Nikon is expected to release two more DSLR cameras in 2012. It will not make sense to upgrade the D7000 and the D300s at the same time, so my guess will be for a new D5200 and a D400. This will open the path for current D7000 owners to upgrade to the D400 (just a speculation, I have no reliable info on the D400 at that point).

I'm already saving up for this body... Wonder what the specs will be

hmm... nice! I think the D300s is ready for a replacement.

[Dodging]

Ja it's due. The D7000 is fantastic but it doesn't qualify as the D300s' replacement in my books

[Forgiss - Sean Nel]

...what if there is no D400, hypothetically speaking?

[Dodging]

I'll be so upset, that I might just write Nikon a letter

[Deneys]

Me 2 been waiting for its announcement since the D4 came out. I've been hearing rumors that it might be FX. Hope its not true.

[Dodging]

Same here. Somehow I doubt it would be...

[Peter Betts]

I love FX and after changing from DX will never go back

[elsahoffmann]

...what if there is no D400, hypothetically speaking?

then you buy a D800

[Deneys]

I love FX and after changing from DX will never go back

But not all my lenses are Fx/Dx (yes/No/Maybe gata love Nandos)

.............................But FX is on the dream list

Ok... Finally some Confirmation!

We can finally confirm that nobody we know has any idea if or when a D400 will be announced!

Bummer, the Amazon ad was a hoax:

I wonder what would happen if there was no such thing as a hypothetical question?

[Andre v]

Well it may not be a D400 but the D600 looks like it will happen.

I still think we will see a D400. I can't see Nikon just handing that market to Canon's 7D II or whatever they bring next.

Also, in 2009 there was also an ISBN number for a book leaked for the replacement of the D300. Same retraction that it was just a mistake blah blah blah, then a couple of months later the D300s was launched. Only thing is it was also believed to be the D400 back then. The same book for the D300s had the exact same ISBN as was posted in the original leaked ad
