The two Nikon's are officially announced, As per the Nikon Aus website D3300 is officially announced and the D4s is announced only as a development .. which basically means that it'll come some time soon, close to the Winter Olympics.

Also of note is Nikon's new AF-S 35mm f/1.8 G ... about bloody time too! been wanting a 35mm for a while, and while the Sigma f/1.4 looks to be really nice, and decently priced, I want cheap .. cheaper than cheap.
Hopefully not more than about $300-400 for Nikon's new lens .. any more than that is a ripoff .. which Nikon are world renown for! :rolleyes:(so I aint holding my breath).

I saw the 3300 announcement posted somewhere as the D330, not the 3300. Got excited for a moment there.

Maybe there won't be a D300S successor after all.

Man, hope springs eternal and you live in it. :p
At 300 to 400 it would be a chuck out table / bargain basement item in the land of the god Nikkor so I wouldn't expect it to be any less than $999.00 drive away, no more to pay so that they can "just" slip it under the Siggy price of a faster lens. :D

Maybe we need a thread with a poll about future Nikon bodies in the DX line. :D Give me a few minutes ----

Looks like the 35 will be $600 US:

So probably $999 AU.

yeah ... just noticed the pricing on DPR's announcement and that's about what I actually expected to see .. $600-700ish, as per the 28mm .. but hoped for some kind of new strategy by Nikon ... of actually getting folks to consider their gear as reasonably priced! :p

Way too much money for a $300-400 lens!

Looks like it'll have to be the Siggy(for me) afterall .... some time(later).
