Nikon Japan has today started a teaser campaign promoting a new compact 10.2 megapixel digital SLR which will be announced in 20 days, we can only guess that this would be the natural successor to the D70/D70s. The teaser gives away few details other than the fact that the camera will have 10.2 megapixels (just in case you were thinking of buying a Sony Alpha). If any other significant details come out over the next 20 days we'll cover them. UPDATE: An English version has now been added to the Nikon Imaging Global website.

The new generation Nikon DSLR are almost there 8) ... finaly !!! It might be possible that this 10.2 megapixel sensor will replace the 6 megapixel sensor that comes with the D50 and D70, not sure yet. The new sensor is completely new, I mean, it's not just an old sensor pomped up to 10.2 megapixels. It's a LBcast sensor. The new D3h will get this sensor as well
And that baby will be mine, most definitely. I don't really care about the fact that I will turn from a 6 megapixel camera to a 10 megapix one, cause then I would go for the D2x or D2xs.
The two main reasons (technicly) why I choose the new D3h over the D2x or D2xs are; The D3h will be packed with the new generation LBcast sensor and last but not least that it will be equiped with completely new software plus new type of batteries as well. The way how it's going to handle and reduce noise will be revolutionary and it will come cheaper than the D2xs and his predecessor the D2x. So, it's going to be a brand new shooter, a true next generation model.
It's going to be something totaly different than the D200, sensorwise. The D200 still stocks a CCD.
And one of the best improvements that this one will offer over my current D70 will be that this one will have a professional viewfinder ... So, I can throw a cristal clear window on the world
8)
And when it comes to the price; The D3h will be for sale for around 3800 US dollars that will be something around 4000 € I guess.
Cheers
