At a certain point, it just becomes redundant increases except in very specific situations. In most cases, 12.1 mp is more than enough, and I agree anything over 15 just isn't necessary.

As to prizes for the ones who turn out to be right......Pat Shaaw has followed this as much as anyone I know of and I believe he guessed December 2009. I think Nikon stands to gain much from a August release date. Yet they are not going to release at any automatic date. They will release when they have it right. As to mega-pixels I for one want for nothing exceeding 15. Some of this resolution range is so misleading. I just reviewed for others......results from their P80s and P90s versus D40 and D40X. A Nikon D700 at 12.1 mega-pixels is a perfect example when shot on FX with FX lenses,simply put I hope Nikon isn't caving in to pixel counters!

Many photographers have it seems taken a wait and see approach or have just not dropped by this site. I even know of amateurs who think Nikon's next BIG move will be the D400 with some of the predicted specs on your predictions expected. They however just seem to think Nikon and Canon both operate on auto-pilot and don't follow any of these serious photo buff websites for clues as to what buyers want and will pay for. I have been in this industry long enough to know that is not true. The design engineers and decision makers at Nikon try to keep an ear to the ground to detect customer attitudes and especially what will be successful in a rapidly evolving technology. As to actual date of release of the much anticipated Nikon D400 I say that is keyed to product development......they need to get 1080p HD video smoothed out with autofocus during the rolling shutter process. Then they pick a release date that jives with some event when the media and customers are paying attention to Nikon.....then it becomes reality. I also think December 2009 is likely. The rewards here are to the lucky buyers provided glitches have been all worked out as the D300 and D90 have demonstrated Nikon CAN and WILL do. Also rewarded would be Nikon sales. Right now the Canon Rebel Ti is getting sold to the buyer who has skimmed the surface for camera ads and hype. would like to mention though look what happens with a Nikon D300 through Nikon D3x when it is switched to Continuous High Speed shutter release and the shutter release button is pressed down and kept down. The focus response is about as good as it can ever get in today's cameras. We can't ever ask for more in the released D400. Hi at Nikon D400 News.
