Rumor: 24mp D3x and 12mp D60 Replacement from Nikon

by Patrick on November 21, 2008

Kamera & Bild discusses those December 1st Nikon Events (see here and here):

Xmas comes early for all Nikon owners. Nikon is calling a press conference December 1 to show off their latest.

We earlier wrote on how Nikon in Denmark called a press conference for October 22 and then shifted this to November 20. Even this date was later withdrawn.

Now we think this is really coming - but what is it that is coming?

In the original danish press leak there was an association to studio photography which got many hoping for a high MP camera from Nikon. The buzz / rumour on the net is that Nikon sharing sensors with Sony’s new 24mp A900 announced in the fall.

There’s also expectation of a successor to the D60 12mp and live view. Also the same sensor tech as in the D90. One question that arises is what that body will be called - surely not D70 or D80…

D60 to replace the D40 as the cheapest Nikon model. This will most likely happen in the January Las Vegas electronics show.
