Who knows? I guess we all will on Tuesday if there is an announcement. Anyway, if Nikon does announce a new camera, we won't see it until next year.

Who cares - you should all be happy with what you have in your hands now (camera wise). If I have said it once, I have said it a thousand times - owning the latest and greatest does not make you a great photographer

Will believe it when I see it and it's too late for me

What is the benefit of full frame over what we have now? Is it simply the size of the sensor, such that a larger sensor will be more accurate regardless of the number of pixels?

While it is fun to look at what else there might be, I'm happy with what I can do with the D70 and don't think a "better" camera would make me a better photography as Chris states. Probably the only improvement I would like would be a larger viewfinder as the one on the D70 is difficult to use underwater - but I still get by.

Medium Format Digital is something you can see the difference with.

DX vs FF is a pixel peepers paradise unless you are talking Hi ISO.

Regardless, changing from Nikon to Canon to MFD is not going to improve how you frame and light a pic.

For most of us, Full-Frame will mean nothing, and for some it will be more of a pain in that it means we have to be concerned about the quality of our glass more and then how good the aperture is when we're firing off a shot.

That said, I'm not a fan of the Full-Frame Canon's because of things like focus-point design and the way the camera handles.

If Nikon do make the switch on one camera, I imagine that it would have to be with an in-house sensor.
