Makes no sense! 36MP and 4FPS. Neither is credible. If you had said 18MP and 8fps I might have given it some credence. I also do not believe that they will bring out a successor to the D700 before they renew the D3. Rumours have to be credible to get following!<img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

The MP count makes sense. 36MP on a full-frame sensor has roughly the same pixel pitch as the 16MP APS-C sensor found in the D7000. It's probably cheaper for Nikon to use the same sensor design and just cut the wafers larger.
