Rumors has the price at $2746 for the body and $2996 with a 50mm. I'll stick with the D800 and D600/610, thank you.
Ditto if it's all plastic with no weather sealing.
I'll get another d300s and keep my d600 and buy a good dx/fx lens instead

The image on the Nikon Rumors website shows a non-AI 55/1.2 lens mounted on it, with an early 43~86 Zoom-Nikkor next to it. The ad recreates a Nikon F ad, I have somewhere in the closet. I'm going to guess that it has the flip-up AI lever used with the F3, FM/FE, EL2, and Nikkormat FT3. That's retro.
$2800 for the same sensor used in the D4- if the build quality is good, I'm sold. Price- about the same as the last Nikon I bought, an S3-2000.
It's much cheaper than my other cameras that I use with Nikkor lenses.

There's a Bkt button where it's supposed to be, on the side of the prism, in one of the photos.
As for the 16MP vs. 24MP thing, I could go back given the quality of the sensor, but not at an increase in price. At $2K there's a very strong chance that I'd be all over this at some point (after the dust settles). At this price it buys me nothing when there's a hole I could likely fill in my kit for $2800. Heck, I'll go a second round with a spare D600 when they hit $1199 and lay the rest aside for sensor swabs. LOL
He's getting a lot of traffic from this!
What I don't get is D4 sensor, but only 5.5 fps and 39 AF points. That's the D600 shutter specs! I would have expected more speed when dropping 8mp. I want to like this, but these are "retro" specs. If they are going to use the D4 sensor, why not the shutter and AF to go with it? Could they have been dumb enough to drop the D600 shutter in it? (everything matches!!)
