Well here we go folks! Here comes the flock of the newest camera gear as we get closer to Photokina! Nikon drops a new camera to replace the D90? I would think maybe the D300s with a plastic body, with it's new metering system and new 39 autofocus system. I was really never a fan of the Multi-CAM 3500 DX as it was so poor in lower light situations. I could never trust it all, it would just hunt or just never allowed me to focus on a subject! Can't wait to get my hands on one of these new D7000 and test it against it's old wiser siblings! Pix and specs after the jump!
