No D400 announcement on CES :-(

Ah, I see. Yes, that screenshot posted in the article does indicate that the D300s and D90 are "End of Life".

FWIW the D300s has been discontinued since this time last year:

http://nikonrumors.com/2012/01/25/nikon-d700-d300s-are-now-officially-discontinued.aspx/ The original version of the D300 came out in 2007.

And the D90 was discontinued in early 2011 (and replaced by the D7000): http://nikonrumors.com/2011/05/15/nikon-d90-is-now-officially-discontinued.aspx/

With the same logic in mind, it would have been safe to assume that a replacement was "around the corner" now for quite some time.

Very L - O - N - G corner...

I'll stick with getting my hopes up to 35% and that way if Nikon releases the D7000 replacement and not the D300s replacement I won't feel quite as bad.
