Just read your article on the upcoming Nikon D5. This camera is way out my affordability, but I love to keep abreast of the new cameras. I don’t know much about the D400, but when it is released I surely will read about it. Buying a new full frame could mean have to buy expensive lenses that could easily surpass the price of this $6000+ camera. This is indeed a professional camera and not for the novice. I came across a 2008 brochure of Nikon cameras. The new D90, $1300, and D700, $3000 were featured. 12.3 and 12.1 respectively. Good obsolete cameras. Photographers are licking their chops to get a hold of the new D5. Move over D4s.
