I'm sure most of you SLR people have already seen this announcement, but Nikon has just announced the successor to the D200, and a D3 camera, both expected in November. The interesting things to note are that both feature a larger 3 inch LCD ~ 1 Mpixel, the D3 sports a new 12 Megapixel full-frame sensor and apparently, ISO up to 25600 in HI2 mode, and various other things like improved framerate and dual card slots. The Nikon D3 looks like an improved D2x in D200-form factor but for $1800. And thankfully, both use the same batteries as the current products!

I am excited and hope the D300 lives up to the specs and more. If so, looks like my D70 will be getting a new sibling.
Additionally, Nikon announced 5 new lenses, 3 improved versions of their expensive telephotos (400/2.8, 500/4, 600/4), a 24-70/2.8, and a 14-24/2.8. I am interested in the 14-24/2.8, but with an expected price of $1800 or so...perhaps not as interested.
