Hmmm. According to NikonRumors the replacement camera to be announced this year is the D5200.
Seems like Nikon have forgotten how old the D300S is.
Has anyone cropped the D800 images to DX size and compared them to the D300? I just wonder if the megapixels on the D800 (and maybe D4) obviate the need for a DX pro body? Sure it's nice to have a DX body alongside an FX body to have the best of both worlds. But for most situations the extra pixels of the latest FX bodies are superfluous unless you are doing mega size prints ....or cropping!
That is a good point. I can do a test.
Do you want an in-camera crop to DX size from D800 (4800x3200 pixels)= 15.4MP.
Or a 12mP central portion as a comparison of how much better it is than a D300?.
