 Panasonic develops a new 2.1-Mpixel CMOS image sensor that can capture 3D videos with a single lens, traditionally, two lenses and two CMOS sensors are required to take 3D video.
In the newly developed Sensor For taking 3D video we have to make sure that the two types of lights come to different pixels of the CMOS sensor. The new design is composed of a structure that combines a lenticular lens and mirror elements (digital micro lenses: DMLs) made by forming patterns whose size is smaller than light wavelength with a lithography technology.
lights separated by the lenticular lens are collected with the DMLs to increase their intensities. Then, they enter the pixels of the CMOS sensor. With this structure, the light entering the left eye and the light entering the right eye do not interfere with each other much. Therefore, the intensities of the lights become high enough.
The received signals obtained in this way are processed via line memory to create 3D video.
Panasonic is expected to start mass production of sensors from 2014.

 When a dpreview forum member contacted Nikon Europe and asked them about the new D7100 being described as the “new flagship of Nikon’s DX-format HD-SLR lineup” on Nikon USA website and on the other hand Nikon D7100 is described as “enthusiast-level DX format camera” in Europe website, now take a look at Nikon answer to this question
“I can assure you that the D7100 is not positioned to replace the D300s as Nikon’s flagship DX-format camera – such is the information received from Nikon Japan on the matter.”
See the full reply on the image click to zoom
Nikon D7100 is not a true replacement of Nikon D300s, according to Nikon USA website. So for sure there is a room for Nikon D400 + the Nikon pro DX (300/300s) users are not happy about the D7100 buffer size / continuous shooting speed and they want a better camera –> Nikon D400.

After so many day Nikon finally issues a long official statement on the D600 dust/oil issue, read the statement below
Thank you for choosing Nikon for your photographic needs.
Some D600 users have reported the appearance of random spots on their images which is generally attributed to the natural accumulation of dust.
While understanding that dust will occur over time, and steps may be taken to reduce the occurrence, the complete elimination of these dust spots may sometimes be difficult.
It has come to our attention that, in some rare cases, they may be reflected noticeably in images and removal may be difficult using normal measures. Therefore, Nikon is informing users of a service to reduce this issue.
Resolution
As a first step, please follow the guidance from the D600 User’s Manual (pages 301-305) related to the Clean Image Sensor function and manual cleaning using a blower bulb.
If these measures do not remove all dust particles and you are still experiencing problems, then please consult your nearest Nikon service center. The technicians will examine the camera thoroughly, and service it as needed.
Nikon simply says if you have dust and oil … go to the nearest service Nikon Center, D600 buyers out there who are waiting for a satisfactory reply are very disappointed.
