I thought I'd stir the pot. It's been pretty quiet.
What are your thoughts on where DX is going? I'll give mine and then dive the bullets.
I don't think there will be a D400. There is a money gap in there between the D7100 and the D600 but I don't think it will be filled. Based on where Canon is moving (and stated) the high end crop factor DSLR cameras will be phased out. I feel Nikon will do the same. Obviously not this time but probably the next cycle refresh. The D3xxx and D5xxx will be around for some time. When Nikon/Canon can make an FX camera in the $650-$800 range they too will be gone.
So making a long story short, maybe a D400 this time but the next refresh, no DX replacement for the D7100 or possible D400. Just my guess.
I think the real question is how soon we will see a mirrorless FX camera?
