Just read from NikonRumors.com:

I am almost ready to say “it has begun”, I just need to verify few more things and go through some translations. Stay tuned!

Here are just two of the reports I got in the past 24hr:

“I work for a big retailer in ***. Today all stores have been told to remove demo Nikon D90 bodies from display and send them back to head office.”

“I have had a Nikon SB-600 in order for about 3 months now at a big electronic store in ***. I know a guy that works there. He made a call to the head office, and they told him they expect Nikon to announce a replacement at Photokina.”

Woohooo, that's some exciting stuff. I'll take any d90s anyone does want.

D3100?

Rumors about a new entry level DSLR between the Nikon D3000 and the D5000 started few months ago. This new camera will not be called D4000 as previously expected, but Nikon D3100.

This is a break down of the main specs/features:

* continuous AF in video mode/live view (yes, that’s right – it seems that the continuous AF I mention earlier today will first be introduced in the upcoming Nikon D3100)
* new AF points configuration which should cover a very large portion of the viewfinder. Total of 11 or 12 AF points.
* 10 MP CMOS sensor
* HD video: 1080p/24 and 720p 30/24!
* AVCHD video codec
* In camera video editing capabilities
* 3fps (same as D3000)
* will be sold in a kit with the 18-55mm lens
* expected announcement in “few weeks”
* no swivel display

if this is really the new entry model Nikon, i would be really interested to see what the higher models can do (D90, D300 replacement)

I'm even tempted to get one for myself..

11/12 AF Point, 1080p HD on entry level Nikon??

---

what can Nikon put in the higher models then?

D3's 51 pt AF on all DSLR?

100pt a/f ?? maybe 1080p at 30+ FPS or 100FPS?
