Video, one more FPS and a little more resolution. Don't get me wrong. It would probably be a great camera. But certainly not as big as the D200 --> D300 step if you ask me. Abd please let this NOT be a FX sensor! The D700 is allready a great camera and it's successor will be even better. If Nikon skips the DX sensor in this, then the best DX body from Nikon would be the D90, and some people (also pros) actually need the DX sensors for the reach. Therefore Nikon needs a (semi)pro DX body Unless that sensor turns out to be clearly better than D300 at high ISO this wouldn’t be that big a step from the D300.

It is supposed to use the new “backlit” design which puts all the electronics on the side away from the sensors. This allows for larger sensor sites. so, even with the extra 2-3 MP over the D300, it is supposed to be better at higher ISO’s." That would be INCREDIBLY interesting. I've been wondering, assuming this is true, how the D400 could have a native ISO range of 100-6400 if it has more 14MP. Canon's 50D hasn't been what I would consider a resounding success in terms of noise performance vs. the 40D. Something tells me this D400 will be a bigger leap forward. I only have a D40 right now but have been saving towards a D300... if this camera is that much better I'll just get it instead. “As a current D300 owner, the one aspect of the rumors for the D400 that I find most interesting is the new sensor.

If it does and it uses the H.264 codec and records in 24p/25p then this will be my dream camera! Really looking forward to this one!

You could certainly be right, though... or it's different between cameras.
