Latest thoughts in the D400/D7000 replacement saga.

This seems an emminently reasonable theory but I would hate to try and double guess Nikon.
For wide angle lens users FX is great but if you like telephotos then DX is an easier way to get the longer lenses for less weight.
However since most users are in the 24-105mm FX range then it becomes an issue of cost and current lenses versus buying more rather than a real forcing of DX v FX choice.
The more I consider this the more I like my Fuji XPro1 and a 18-55 zoom for small size, low weight and high quality. If it had DSLR AF speed of focus I would be with real problems!!
As I said earlier...make the D7000 focus as fast as the D300 ( or latest pro models ) and they wouldn't need a D400!
That would need a new AF unit like the one found in the D800 or D4.
Exactly... just a component swap.
But Nikon won't put a top component in a consumer body, it cheapens the top camera and is wasted in the consumer camera. (In their eyes)
