August 22, 2007 | 1 Minute Read

More rumors, but considering the last one i posted about the 40D actually came true, we see what happens here. Nikon may announce 2 new cameras tomorrow: a D3 and a D300. Specs below. [Via Engadget]

D3

• Full frame (FX) 12 megapixel Nikon CMOS
  • Live view LCD
    • 9fps in FF mode, 11fps in HSC mode (at 1.5 crop factor / DX size)
      • ISO 200 – 6400 with LO (ISO 100 equivalent), H1 and H2 (ISO 12800 / 25600, respectively)

        • 51 point autofocus system (15 cross sensor) </ul> D300

        • DX format 12 megapixel CMOS (supposedly possibly the same as the D2X)

          • Live view LCD
            • 6fps, up to 8fps with power grip (no HSC mode)
              • ISO 200 – 3200 with LO (ISO 100 equivalent), H1 (ISO 6400)
                • 51 point autofocus system (15 cross sensor) </ul> 12MP is a bit low for the high end (the 1Ds Mark III is now nearly double at 21), but 9FPS is good. [update] Its Official
