Just got my copy of Nikon Pro magazine through the door (UK).
Nikon D3x
24.5mp in FX, 10mp in DX crop
iso 100 - 1600 (50 - 6400 expandable)
5fps FX, 7fps DX
Looks just like a D3 (with a little 'x') :)
...still reading the article.

We have already received rumours that an official Nikon event will be produced on next thursday 4th in the morning. I suspect that it will be that FD3x announcement.
I wish to find some long awaited lens updates, too.

The only lens mentioned in the magazine is the 50mm f1.4 afs (and the 18-105 DX).

Nikon Pro is published by Nikon UK, so I'd say this counts as an official announcement. Anything on pricing?

No mention of pricing or release date.

Wonder if some poor chump in the Nikon Mail Room is out of work this morning! - I told you to mail them on Friday - not have them delivered on Friday!!!!
Looks interesting for studio work and perhaps weddings... Anxious to see what the image quality looks like and if there is more coming on Monday - Such as a baby brother / sister D-400 or D-800?

Price?
I'm guessing $500 per mp.

Fact that they are limiting the iso to 100 - 1600 makes me think that they are going for a wide dynamic range, like the medium formats. Good choice, imo, too many companies are pushing the iso on sensors which aren't capable of holding any detail at these extreme high iso.
