Nikon D3x, more rumours

I think that this camera prepared by Nikon to replace the magnificent (but intolerably expensive) Nikon D3 will stay reserved to a technical and financial elite (if there is still one after the current crisis). But rumours are running wild during those days:

• DPreview told us that it will come in December with the following characteristics:
  • 24.4 mega-pixels
  • 9 fps
  • $6499.99 USD
• Nikon Rumours rather says “availability in February 2009” (with a new 70-200mm zoom).

And there are some even wilder things…
