Nikon D800 with 24 MP and a D700s with 1080P function both camera’s will be the new generation tot compete with Canon 5D mark II and Sony A850.

And in 2011 the introduction of the D4 with 4K function and 40MP with a quantumsensor. This year mobile phones with quantumsensors are on the market.
A quantum sensor is 2 to 4 times sensitiver with very low noise and the best part it’s cheaper. So full frame 6×7cm sensors for a good price will be possible.
Maybe the rebirth of the Pentax 67 or Mamiya 67 with 100 till 150MP

nikon is not going to make a new 18mp sensor, and it would have to be new if it was more than the 12.1 from the D3 or D3s or 24.5 from the D3x. its not nikons thing to do that. look at the past.
D300, D90(video added, sensors the same), D5000
D200, D80, D40x
D100, D70, D70s
D3, D700
now were left with a camera that has to be full frame, recycled sensor, and needs video.
the only one that fits nikons MO is the D3S’ old sensor.

here my prediction

Nikon D700x, or D800
12.1 MP
iso standard 12,800 iso HI3 iso 102,400
720p video
7fps (they never go backwards here: d100 3fps, d200 5fps, d300s 7fps. it would only make sense the next full frame sub pro camera would be better in all aspects)

this is ONLY if released before summer ends.
if not, were looking at a summer 2012 release of a D4 similar camera

You have a point. Nikon would polish up the Nikon D700 and call it Nikon D700s in the fall. This would be the little brother of Nikon D3s.

However, the Nikon D800 or Nikon D900 is a completely new beast. Think of it as something to compete with the Canon 5D Mark II and the Sony Alpha A850, or a smaller sibling of the Nikon D3x.

I wonder if it makes sense to squeeze 18MP out of the D3s’ sensor. More probable to me that the D800 will have 12 MP. There is lots of people that love low light capabilities.
