July 2008      More Nikon Reviews

There is no Nikon D4. Even the Nikon D3x isn't out yet.

It's easy to predict Nikon's new products, since they update them on a regular schedule.

Let's look at history. Looking at announce, not ship dates:

D1: June 1999.

D2H (there was never a D2): July 2003. That's 4 years.

D3: August 2007. That's 4 years.

This sets a D4 announcement for the summer of 2011, 4 years after the announcement of the D3. The D4 ought to start shipping in the fall or winter of 2011, with the D4x anounced at the end of 2012 and shipping mid-2013.

This is all easy to predict when you sit back and look at what Nikon's done in the past. For pro film SLRs, the interval between major updates has been 10 years ever since 1959.
