Photokina 2008 is coming up in about six weeks (Sept. 23-28)! Here is a summary of the rumors laying around: the Nikon D3X - a 24MP or 38MP full frame (FX) camera that should cost around $6,000 - $10,000.

According to Digitalfreak, Nikon D3x should bring us:

Short time ahead of Photokina, Nikon has announced its flagship compact, the Coolpix P6000. Built around a 13.5 megapixel, 1/1.72 inch sensor (0.41 square cm), the camera has a 4x zoom starting at a very useful 28mm equivalent lens. It also records RAW files in a new NRW format that can be converted in-camera or with the forthcoming Windows version of View NX or Windows Imaging Component compatible applications. The other stand-out feature is the inclusion of built-in GPS logging of the locations at which images were recorded. It is expected to start shipping in September for around $500/£429.99/€575.00.

With Photokina just around the corner, no wonder we see so many camera rumors floating around. Next in line, the Nikon D90. We have seen some specifications  and they are not bad at all: 12 megapixels, Live View, video mode (necessitating a built-in mic), HDMI out, optional GPS. If this proves to be true, than the D90 would be a worthy successor of D80. Still looking to find out more about a possible D3x. It’ll ship in a kit with an 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G zoom lens and should hit the streets at under $1000 if it keeps with the D80’s pricing, as is expected.
