It seems that Nikon has scheduled press conferences for both July 30 and August 4. We hear that a new DSLR will be a announced at each presser. The D300s is a given, with its SD card slot and 720p24 recording, but what’s the other DSLR?
Photography Bay points out that it could either be a D60 replacement or an update to the D3s. We’re thinking Nikon would probably update the entry-level D60. The new must-have spec is video recording and the D60 doesn’t have the goods. Sure, neither does the D3x, but that camera is geared towards professionals and let’s be honest, the video recording junk is just a novelty.
So expect two new DSLRs from Nikon in the coming months. One will definitely be the D300s and we’re guess the other will be a D60 replacement.
Hopefully they update the video capability on the D60. The Rebel T1i shoots much better video than the D90 or D5000. Almost bought a T1i but I guess I’ll wait out the summer.
WHAT IS A “D3s”???? Do you mean D3x??? I have not heard of this so called D3s. Please let me know if there is a D3s.

I know what a D3 is.
D3x – http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=cart&A=details&Q=&sku=592951&is=REG
Still does not solve the mystery of this “D3s.”
I think maybe the copy editor used the “s” as part of the link? Not sure. Agree. Mystery unsolved.
I’m going with the D4000 rumor to compete with the Canon T1 or Ti.
the D300S rumors is based on an image of an LCD. follow the D300s link in the original article to see the shot.
rumors have it that it will support sd cards instead of/in addition to cf cards, and have a movie mode. all rumors, we’ll find out soon enough.
@Luke,
I believe the author was trying to convey the plural of the D3 line. As in the “dee threes” meaning D3 and D3x models. Perhaps an apostrophe might have been more clear – D3’s?
I heard new D60 or D90 with additional features including built in GPS?
not sure !! i heard too
I heard that there would be either a new D60 or D90 with new features including built in GPS for geotagging.
Nikon is always been a top in camera category will wait for this model as I was planning to get one by this weekend so will wait for this model to launch.
Any one expected price?
Hmmm, i shd put my D300 plans on hold then :) Ill wait and see. Thanks guys for the rumour news :)
