After a few weeks of rumours, some believable others not quite so much, Nikon today announced that it was launching its 'mini-D3' - the D700.
The D700 shares much of the technology found in the fantastic D3, including it's 12.1 megapixel full frame 'FX' sensor.
Nikon's press release states that the D700 has an RRP of £1999.99 and that sales will start at some point in July 2008.
dpreview.com have been lucky enough to get their hands on a sample and have published their D700 preview article which lists all of the features of the new camera.
As well as the new camera, Nikon are also releasing a new Speedlight to their range of flashes, the SB900.
