Of the D7100 and D400 which will be the volume seller? Can the inroduction of a D7100 help Nikon met its 4th quarter results? How solid were the rumours of a D400 in early 2013 anyway? I'm still a bit of a sceptic about the likelihood of a D7100 and a D400 but that's my problem. I'd love to replace my D200 with a D400 if possible but can wait for the moment as the D4 does most things except reach very well. Who knows, Thom may have this wrong he only claims 50 - 60% accuracy and a desire to provoke discussion.

The D7100 would be higher sales volume overall (less expensive cameras within the same line are nearly always higher volume), but the D400 would probably be a higher profit margin and the D7100 will just continue on for the fairly good selling D7000, but the D400 might add a pretty big bump over the existing D300s sales. All of this makes it's not so trivial to guess which might impact profits more.

Another facctor is that I'd guess the D400 buyer will be prone to buy more high-end lenses than the average D7100 buyer, thus indirecly contributinh to more sales margin than the body itself.
