yup,, got to be..
wish list (not that I am buying one)
24 Meg sensor (that beats 7000 for dynamic range and noise)
flip screen (I did not think so,, but I like the one in my 5100, Handy when storing)
51 point focus
6 bracket
same size as 7000
Add the mode dial release
1200 dollars or less
8 frames a second (burst) with raw burst buffer of 25
USB3
GPS
Wireless release/wireless connection to computer
keep the old AF drive
meter old glass
improve the weather sealing


I am not upgrading my 7000, but if you are going to upgrade, then make it a real upgrade and stop all those D300 users that keep whining for a D300 upgrade.


If they do all that, it will be a homerun..


now here is my prediction
same 24 Meg sensor as 5200,, ok, but hardly much better than the 7000
same low bracket count as the 7000
not 51 auto bracket
5-6 frames a second
raw burst of say 9 shots
USB3
no GPS
flip screen
release switch for mode dial
will keep the af drive
will still meter old glass
same build quality as 7000
list price of 1250-1300 (but will discounted to 1100 in no time)


Its a incremental camera, that will offer a nice choice for folks upgrading, from older cameras
and or 3000/5000 series.

d300 users will still complain, and hope for the sacred D400.
 
That would make it in time for the big british exhibiton Focus on Mar 3rd ..it seems Nikon are releasing in europe first to test for issues before releasing in US
