New rumors suggest the Nikon D7200 will arrive on or before March 13, 2015 – less than a month away. Previously rumored specs suggest that it will feature a 24MP APS-C sensor and 1080/60p video capture. Additional rumored specs include the following:
- Nikon D750 styled body with a tilting screen
- Expeed 4 processor
- MultiCAM 3500DX2 autofocus system
- 51 AF points
- Built-in Wi-Fi
- 6fps
- Buffer: 16 RAW+JPG
- Video: 1080p @60 and 720p @120
- Video aperture adjustable during live view
Additionally, Nikon was recently quoted in saying that it would release a Canon 7D Mark II competitor. Whether this will be the Nikon D7200 or the fabled D400 remains to be seen.
Stay tuned though. Things should be heating up in the Nikon vs. Canon war again very soon.

Whatever the camera fabled to be the successor to the D300 it has come far too late and at what cost to Nikon. A large number of my peers have switched to Sony and Panasonic a few to Canon but surprisingly all still lament the passing of the D300 and the D700. I do not intend to try to figure out what corporate decisions have driven the current market trend of the top two Nikon and Canon but the indifference to their largest market share has cost them both a loyal and large customer base which may never return..

Couldn’t agree more with you Kaernick. and both are still failing to innovate with mirrors. I too left my D800 for the Sony A7r – well said

I don’t personally lament the passing of the D300 as mine is alive and well, and coupled with a 70-200 f4 plus 1.4 teleconverter for African wildlife, and a 16-85 or 50 mm 1.4 which together pretty well covers most of what I or many enthusiasts need a camera for (my Fuji X100s fills the gap for most of the rest). Yes I know it would be nice to have better low light capability occasionally, but most of my shots are taken in more than sufficient light to produce excellent shots (considering my very limited budget). I don’t personally feel the need just yet to bury my D300 and jump ship to any newer model or brand for what I think is a neglible difference in image quality to the naked eye, or for the occasional low light animal opportunities. As a safari guide I still recommend the D300 to any wildlife photographer who wants to capture great action and has a preference for back button focusing. Just my opinion ?

Keeping my D300s as well. Between 100 iso to 800 iso, with good quality lenses this camera is still amazing (great color and crisp sharpness in images) and can compete well with latest tech. Use a prime lens or F2.8 zoom lens for low light to get more out of it. Only at 1600 iso or higher the image quality drops a bit and then noisy, however there is Lightroom to help. But I do not use 1600 iso or higher often with D300s. And then again, I also have my D700 FX for low light conditions when I do not mind carrying a bigger heavier camera with great image quality. Both have the pro button controls.
The D300s is still a great “travel and vacation and outdoor sports” camera, and I have photos to show for it. Just work within its limitations, and still produce excellent results, with fast accurate autofocus, and decent image quality, as it has a lot going for it. When the D300s was first introduced, it was the top DX flagship camera for a reason (or many actually).
