Have Nikon officially announced new cameras?

All I can find is rumor sites and speculation about models, dates, specs etc.

Have Nikon actually said there will be a D400 and a D800 or is it all speculation??

Reason I ask is my D200 needs replacing and I will either plump for one of the new models if not too far away and overpriced, or await their launch and buy the outgoing model cheap

Surely the D400 would be the flagship DX sensor D300s replacement and the D800 would be the flagship pro-am FX sensor D700 replacement?

Sensor size matters because it defines 2 different ranges of cameras, DX sized and full frame FX sized.

The 2 dont blur or mix other than in the D3X etc where they have a crop mode which is like a DX sensor, although rather pointless on such a camera!

16MP for their flagship pro camera??? That cant be right?

Because its a step backwards and not competitive against Canon hence it cant be right, thus the overuse of question marks!!!!

To launch a new model with lower specs that the current, older, competitors model is suicide.
