One very possible combination could be: Nikon D4000 (D3000 replacement) and D8000 (D90 replacement),
both with full HD and 14-18MP sensors (the D4000 is probably going to be between 14-16MP and the D8000 will be between 16-18MP). The full frame body is still the big question mark – I continue to receive rumors that the D700 will be replaced in 2011.
The lenses situation also starts to resolve around the following lenses (nothing new here, but I want to emphasize that the same information is now pouring in from all over the world):
* One prime lens – either the
35mm f/1.4 or the 85 f/1.4 VR (both AF-S). The rumors are currently split 50/50 for each lens. We will see only one of those lenses between now and Photokina.
* New high-power zoom (FX): either
24-105 f/4 VRII or 24-120 f/4 VRII, possible Nano coating
(especially if it is the 105mm focal length :confused: ) .
* New super telephoto zoom (FX) – 3 possibilities here:
28-300mm f/4.5-5.6, 100-500mm or 100-400mm. There is a very low chance of a new 80-400mm lens, even though there is a new patent for this lens (coming up online soon). All VRII of course.
It is still not clear what will be the kit lens for the D8000.
