It is an exciting time to be a Nikon DSLR owner or at least those in the market for one.

The D600 looks to be the next camera to be announced, and I have heard it is going to be an entry-level full-frame DSLR with a 24Mp sensor for around $1,500.

Not sure yet - but it is also rumored that it might not have an in-camera focus motor, so like the other entry-level DSLRs, it will need to use AF-S lenses.

Of course, this is all speculation at this point, and the D7000 was rumored at one time to lack the in-camera motor as well, but we all know it was built with one.  So hopefully if Nikon makes the D600 as a full frame camera, it will include the in-camera focus motor as many fine full-frame AF lenses are out there, and it would be a shame not to be able to use them.

And the other hot-rumor is the D400 to replace the D300s.

The thing is that we will just have to wait and see.

Buy the camera and enjoy taking photographs, by the time the D600 appears it will be at its maximum price at launch and then you will probably soon see an announcement of an even better camera soon to be launched and maybe wait for that... eventually you will never buy a camera because soon a better one will appear. Besides the specs. for the D600 are only theoretical at the moment and you could have many months of photography ahead of you before its even launched if you buy a camera now. More mega-pixels just fill up your hard drive quicker and unless you often print huge poster size prints or crop tiny portions of the image they aren't of much use.
