Nikon D60 Being Phased Out, Is The D300 Next? D400 On Horizon?

The following is a translation from the Swedish website Kamera & Bild (via NikonRumors.com), which confirms that the D60 is being discontinued and insinuates the same for the D300. Can the Nikon D400 be far behind?

Nikon Nordic confirms that Nikon D60 is sold out and deleted from the range. F For Nikon D300 is the future a little different. We look into the crystal ball.

At our monthly update of rekpriserna on the market, we received news that Nikon D60 is sold out and that the D300 deleted.

- Yes it is true. D60 is sold out. We will get a splash with the D300's and then it is also the end.

Probably Nikon has been a little careful with the production of older camera models D60 and D300 because of the economic crisis so that there are no large stocks when they put on production to new models. Nikon tends to begin production of new Relations a few months before the launch to deliver tightly after deployment in large quantities.

As the models are based, there is no doubt that they will have new place in the near time. The question is whether Nikon has to bring forward the launch?  Or if they will launch in August as usual.

To release two SLR at the same time is a bad PR strategy. So your cameras in the shadow of each other and it does not reach the same amount of publicity in total as if it has two launch opportunities.

As a replacement for D60, we can wait us a diet verison of D5000. . This model may take longer than a replacement to the D300 because D5000 is so new.

The D400 has the ryktats for long and now it is likely soon here. Nikon D300 announced in August 2007. SSince then, technology inherited down to the D90 and the latest D5000.  It is therefore time for Nikon to introduce a new generation of APS-C sensor.

Will Nikon will go for more megapixels or higher ISO? Or do both and Canon?
