Thom Hogan had told us a few weeks ago that he was thinking Nikon would soon bring a Nikon D3x, high-end pro photo camera with a 35mm Full Frame sensor (it’s here). But he was also saying that there should be a Nikon D400<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Let’s say it straight: No D400 is sight yet… except a recent post at Nikon Rumours that pretends to describe the feature list of this supposed Nikon D400. I have a lot of doubts about its reality (and certainly more than that about the precision of this so-called information<\/em>) but here is the proposed list:<\/p>\n

Price (MSRP): $1,999.00
