The source seems very dubious!
I spy Dual car slots.
I wish they'd bloody hurry up and make it official on the D600...it's pretty much certain to be my next camera...mind you, if you don't get one on pre-order you may as well kiss it goodbye for at least 6 months after release. Nikon are terrible at keeping up with demand. Oh and their manufacturing plant being under a few feet of water a number of months back didn't help, I'm sure.
The D700 is an awesome bit of kit but if we're being realistic it's a good generation or so behind now. I personally still think it costs too much, given its age and the advantages you can get with newer (even DX) models. Make the D7000 full frame and you'd have a worldbeater, which is sort of what the D600 is rumoured to be.
The rumoured specs for the D600 are more than enough to convince me to part with £1500-1800.
The D800/D800E is more like £2,300-2,600 at the moment.
If the D600 comes in at around £1,500 then it has its place...
...in my kit bag!
Anything over £1,800 and I'd just save for longer to get the D800 (possibly). I hope not because the frame rate on the 800 is frankly shocking for a camera of that calibre, hence why I don't own one right now.

if your pushing nearly 2k for a entry level ff, wouldnt that eat away d3/d800 sales? cant see it happening.
the 5d3/d800 are IMO entry level ff. their will never be a actual entry level ff IMO.
You would need to seriously gimp it in order for the 5d3/d800 not to be effected.
maybe putting a ff sensor on a 650d would be the solution for canon anyway
I cant speak specifically for the Nikon line up, but to me it seems Canon are making room for my FF cameras in their line up.
I say that because the EOS-M system is APS-C, and the 650D swallowed the 60D spec space (9 cross AF points). I think the 60D and 7D successor will be one APS-C camera that sits above the 650D.
Seeing as "even the mirrorless" Canon offering has an APS-C sensor, I would think they would be pushed to offer a pro body camera with the same sensor size.
If you consider the price for the 60D/7D successor could retail for around £1000-1150 there is quite a bit of room in the line up to squeeze something between that and the 5D3. This being another pro body FF camera but without all the bells and whistles of the 5D. Im thinking potentially even, shorter plastic body (60D size), and perhap 7D style AF.
I dont see why it couldn't be the 5D3 sensor. In terms of AF, the 5D3 would still have over 3 times the AF points over an 19 point style system. Im sure they will gimp the entry level FF camera's continuous shooting to 4 fps or less and as I said the body will be smaller and non metal. They will find plenty of other compromises to make. Tbh if they design the specs carefully, it will be a useful camera for a lot of people. Well see....
The D600 and Canon equivalent are both very exciting prospects; I sincerely hope these are not just vaporware (ala D700s/x).
Metal body, 61 point AF, superb ISO performance and 1.6 crop would have an amazing following with wildlife photographers, just as the 7D does.
I'm not sure one will appear to be honest, same with the supposed canon entry level FF camera also. The nikon one would have to be better than the D700, which isn't easy to do as its autofocus system is great, plus the iso performance isn't exactly lacking by any stretch. I'd rather see a new D300s with a higher mp count, better ISO performance and no AA filter, plus keeping the same framerate, as it would make it the best wildlife camera by a longshot for the money.
The second hand market for the D700 and the 5D mk ii has put the bodies to around £1100 each, which is an absolute bargain. I can't see how a new FF body, below the specs of the 5D mk iii and D800, would be able to compete with those sorts of prices.
