Nikon Japan has today started a teaser campaign promoting a new compact 10.2 megapixel digital SLR which will be announced in 20 days, we can only guess that this would be the natural successor to the D70/D70s. The teaser gives away few details other than the fact that the camera will have 10.2 megapixels (just in case you were thinking of buying a Sony Alpha). If any other significant details come out over the next 20 days we'll cover them.

I can't wait to see this, hopefully it'll drive D70s prices down enough for me to get one...

Ick. What's up with the SD card slot and the 1/200th flash sync? Sounds like a downgrade to me. No one will notice a diff between 10mp and 6mp on a normal print. Maybe when you start printing at 40ft by 60ft, but even then I don't think you'll notice. :thumbsdow I honestly think they realized their mistake by making the D70 TOO GOOD (because it basically surpassed the D100 that it was supposed to slot under).
