Nikon D600
 

Now released - it's non-news, thoroughly "leaked" for months.
US$2099.
Confirmed that it does have 100% VF, 39 point AF (9 cross type),
weather-sealing, AF fine tuning, 5.5 FPS, pop-up flash which can be used
as CLS commander.

No substantive rumours I've heard out there, but I'd be surprised if
Canon doesn't have an answer to this in the market very quickly.

You mean apart from the 5DMkII ?

The D600 thoroughly outclasses the 5dII.
(except to RichA, who will search the WWW for the next few years,
looking for an example of a D600 falling to pieces)

We'll see if it's in the same league performance-wise as the Canon.

Well, it will beat it for sensor performance (that's a given), it's got
a more advanced AF system (though not as good as the CAM 3500 which eats
the 5DII focus system alive), it's got a 100% VF x 0.70, vs 98% x 0.71,
it shoots 5.5 fps vs 3.9.
Apart from that...
Yes - no "AF-ON" button, and some polycarbonate...

I'm beginning to think that the D300 body was too expensive for Nikon to
build at the price it ended up selling at...
