Thom Hogan has an interesting summary of the current Nikon lineup in his 1/26/11 entry on his website. If he is correct, and he is rarely far off, it should be an interesting year for Nikon users.
From his site:
From his site:
- D3100. Nikon's entry DSLR until late 2011 or more probably early 2012.
- D5000. No longer in production, some still in the sales channel. A strong candidate for replacement in the first half of the year.
- D7000. Still in short supply and should remain Nikon's top consumer DSLR until at least summer of 2012.
- D300s. No longer in production, many still in the sales channel. A strong candidate for replacement between now and September.
- D700. Approaching three years old. A strong candidate for replacement in the first half of the year.
- D3s. Will be replaced by the D4 in August.
- D3x. Probably obsoleted by the D4 in August, but not certain.
