Now that’s a surprise. According to Nikonrumors there will be a new “hybrid” Full Frame camera from Nikon within the next 2-3 months! It is yet not clear if that’s a mirrorless camera and if it has an interchangeable mount. The “hybrid” could refer to a sort of hybrid viewfinder tech like the one used by Fuji’s X-PRO1. There are the possible specs:

16,2MP 36×23,9 full frame sensor (same as in the D4?)

SD memory card

2016-pixel RGB image sensor

9-cell framing grid display

3D color matrix metering II

Native ISO range: 100-12800 (incl. ISO 50 and ISO 108,200)

5.5 fps for up to 100 shots

3.2″ LCD screen

Battery:EN-EL14

Dimensions: 143,5 x 110 x 66,5mm

Weight: 765g

It will come with a new AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G lens (again, not clear what mount the new lens will have)

UPDATE: False alarm! Nikonrumors corrected his rumor and now states that the Camera is an F-mount camera and not a mirrorless camera!
