[QUOTE="jdeg, post: 794920, member: 1"] I was lucky enough to get to meet with Nikon at CES 2011 in their private meeting room. Unlike Canon, Nikon didn't have a show floor booth. I thought maybe they would be able to tell me a little about what's the come, like replacements for the D700 and D3 (D800, D4), or the mirrorless camera system. Unfortunately they couldn't tell me [I]anything[/I]. I did get to play with a D7000 and D3s though. Both are very very nice cameras. I've never held either before so it was nice to fiddle with them. I can say without a doubt that the D7000 will be my next camera, as long as I can find one in stock.
