Rangefinder?

With regards to the non-silkscreened camera bodies: perhaps they are both prototypes/test mules/pre-production units/whatever. Maybe the "D3" is actually the D3X. I believe the dust shaker is built into the frame that holds the sensor, not the sensor itself. Looking at the released specs, I think the $4800 D3 is going to get nailed unless the D3X is priced in the stratosphere at $8,000 or so. Getting sandwiched between the D700 and D3X will be a tight spot to occupy otherwise. If it does survive, maybe it will be upgraded to a D3s with dust shake, etc. Well, seems to be real now.

Seems to be more like a different design option than a step up. Appart from that, not much news in the video, he says it's a new segment in Nikon line, 5fps (8 with the grip), and less than 1kg for the body alone.
