Thom's predictions for 2013...

Well, his suggestion of Aug 2013 would be six years after the D300 launch. If it doesn't appear early 2013 I wonder if it will come at all. They've left enough time to tempt potential purchasers up to the D600 and D800. And they've had quite enough time to design a D400 even allowing for earthquakes and floods. I mean: it's a D800 with a DX sensor, right?

Nikonrumours talk of a "D300s/D7000 fusion", which sounds equally unlikely to me. In many respects the D7000 and D300s are similar cameras except for body (allowing for difference in age). So either you have a camera in a D7000-style body or you have one in a D300-style body; it's one or the other. What would a fusion be: left half of the camera D300 style, right half D7000 style?
