First I am NOT on Nikon's payroll-never have been! I buy ALL of my Nikon gear, just like most of you!
I do however have "friends" on the inside and although this news is coming from my French "inside" friend, it is more reliable then all of the other Nikon rumor's that have been swirling about for the past two years! Since I have never jumped on the rumor bandwagon, UNTIL NOW, you just might be tempted to believe it, but ultimately, since I am relying on someone else, and they really are in a position to "KNOW", then it's a pretty safe bet, this time, that it's true!
Two new Nikon's-The D800, at 20MP, full frame, retail price of $2495.00 and Nikon DX-4, full frame at 19-20MP with a retail price of $5,000.00 and both will be announced by late September 2011! That's about all I have for you but I will add, that until Canon add's the Multiple Exposure feature to their camera's, I will find this reason and several others to continue to put up with the frustration of Nikon's extremely slow response to the needs of their photographic customers.
Here are two examples (a before and after) of using that very simple Multiple Exposure, (nine frames to be exact) feature found on the D300S, the D700, the D3S and the D3X. (It IS found on the D5000 and D90 but you can only dial up 3 frames maximum, not 10!)
City of Lyon, France at "rush hour" as traffic approaches the Lafayette Bridge. Nikon D300S/Nikkor 70-300mm at 300mm, f/16@ 1/60 second then shot again, same exposure, f/16 @ 1/60 second but shot nine times and Nikon's on-board computer processes the images into a single perfectly exposed image-it is what is called Auto-Gain by Nikon. I call it FINE ART in a box!
All my best-

Any thoughts IF true?
 
The general consensus on the Nikon rumour mill is that a D400 and D4 will be made available this August, and that the D800 won't be with us until sometime next year.

Other rumours suggest that the D400 will have a 24 megapixel crop sensor and the D4 a 32 megapixel full frame sensor, both from Sony as is the current trend with Nikon Cameras.
