This sort of burst out of nowhere today, but word is that a new Nikon D3s will hit on October 15 — the crew at NikonRumors puts it at “99 percent probability.” The D3s is expected to add 1080p video and an odd 14fps frame rate to the D3, as well as a 1.6x crop mode, but other than that we don’t know too much.
