Just kidding 
According to our friend, Nikonrumors, Nikon will make announcement for their new product in 17 and 19th of August.
Why make it separately in two different days ? So many toys to be announced ? :sweat:

Still waiting...!
I hope "travelling len" do come true :
Nikkor 18-200 f/3.5-5.6 ED VR – now this one is weird because it’s a… FX lens… yep, full frame! Previous rumors indicated a 28-300mm zoom, to compete directly with Canon, but it seems that Nikon decided to do this one differently (Nikon already has a 18-200mm lens for DX). Correct me if I am wrong, but I think this will be the first full frame 18-200mm lens in the world.

18-200 f/3.5-5.6 ED VR for FX, is almost impossible to be built.
It's difficult to create Super Zoom which start from 18mm for FX. If exist, the lens might suffer from heavy vigneting or very soft at corner of the photo.
Starts from 28mm is more reasonable.
Note: if I were you and only had FX body, I would bring 28-300 + 16-35 f/4 VR for travelling

If the ISO prediction is true, I am taking it conservatively that it is referring to H1 at 12800 with the top true ISO at 6400 at best. It could also be H2 at 12800, H1 at 6400, and top true ISO at 3200 (the same as D300/D300s now but with a push to H2).
Nikon will be shooting themselves in the foot if its true ISO12800 at top end of usable ISO range without going into H1, which is the realm of the very expensive D3s and which will piss off a lot of FX owners. But at the same time, most entry level DSLR buyers/consumers have no idea of the meaning of ISO and is would be less appreciative of such features.
We will know in a few hours time...

24-120 would be great option towards current 24-70, with FX high ISO performance n VR, F4 seems not a problem in this zoom range, hopefully lighter weight n size
anybody can share why Canon made that 28-300 so heavy n expensive, seems from pic Nikon's new 28-300 nearly same size as Tamron's one, cant wait to test it...

We shall see.
I hope not.. haa haa. Used the canon 24-105 briefly and the performance is not up tp par.

ISO prediction is accurate, H2 to 12800. Now to see how does 14MP holds up in terms of noise.
