I believe this was officially released yesterday.

Has anyone ordered one, seen one or does anyone plan to get one? I am hoping to get one once the price settles (and somewhere like Hdew, DR or Panamoz get them nearer to £1k). I was going to get the D610 but am holding out due to the better AF.

Headline specs:

Resolution: 24MP (new sensor apparently)
Dual SD card slots
Shutter Speed: 1/4000 – 30 s + bulb etc.
Flash sync: 1/200s
Frame Advance: 6.5FPS
Autofocus: Nikon Advanced Multi-CAM 3500 II - 51 AF Points (15 cross type, 11 of them focus to F8). Same as D4s and D810 except it focusses in even lower light (–3 – +19 EV)
WIFI: Yes, built in
Video: Yes, lots

Seems to be treading all over the 810's toes doesn't it?
It does. Resolution and the 'pro' control layout seems to be the main differentiater now. It also makes the D610 look pretty bad value, or at least it will once the price settles. I expect the D610 will have to come down quite a bit further.

Is it just me that find these stats in particular very disappointing ?

Nikon D700 = 8fps ( with grip ) 1/8000 shutter, 1/250 flash sync.
Nikon D300 = 5fps 1/8000 shutter, 1/250 flash sync.

And compared to the other, cheaper, DX cameras at photokina it is outpaced by even Samsungs new camera.

Canon 7dMk2 = 10fps, 1/8000 shutter speed, 1/250 flash sync.
Samsung NX1 = 15 fps, 1/8000 shutter, 1/250 flash

There were rumours of a D9300/D400 replacement for the DX market or a true D700 replacement.

Instead we got a D600 replacement with a de-rated shutter. Feels like an answer to a question no-one was asking.
The D300, D700 and 7Dmk2 are all Pro cameras though. The D750 is definitely a consumer/prosumer camera. The NX1 isn't an SLR so can't fairly be compared either.

I agree that the D700 and D300 are yet to be replaced though. If I was a pro still shooting a D700, I am not sure what I would do.

I don't think the max of 1/4000s is such a big problem when you can drop to 50 ISO, the D700 only went down to 200 so you're actually a stop better off in the D750.
