Nikon
Nikon D40/D60 Replacements: Like Canon, Nikon introduced its current entry-level camera, the D60, at PMA 2008. The D60 is paired with a great little 18-55mm lens and is generally well regarded as a very capable entry-level camera (Read Photography Bay’s Nikon D60 Review). The Nikon D90’s movie mode changed the game though. Expect this one year old camera to be replaced at PMA 2009 with an entry-level consumer DSLR that offers video capture. I would expect the D60 to take the place of the Nikon D40 as a second tier entry-level DSLR if the D40 doesn’t get a specific replacement as well.
Nikon D400: The Nikon D300 is due for an update. PMA will mark the end of the typical 18-month life cycle for the prosumer DSLR. Rumors have been creeping up that a 16 megapixel Nikon D400 with video capabilities will replace the D300. Read more Nikon D400 Rumors. Also, rumors of a Nikon D500.
Nikon D700x/D800: I’ve seen no credible rumors for a revised D700 that offers the same 24.5 megapixel sensor as that found in the Nikon D3x; however, that is on a number of forum posters’ wish lists. If it comes (and that’s a big “if”), you might also expect a video feature set to mate more effectively as an opponent the Canon 5D Mark II. More Nikon D800 Rumors. There are even Nikon D900 Rumors.
Pentax
Expect some big news from Pentax at PMA. Hoya, Pentax’s parent, issued a statement with its second quarter 2008 financial results that revealed some of the things to come from Pentax in 2009, including 3 new types of DSLR cameras.
Here’s a quote relevant portions of the statement: Next year, we are planning to launch some three types, including minor design change versions, of single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras. With a desire to offer cameras which will demonstrate our advantages, as announced in the Photokina held in Germany, we will relaunch ourselves next year as a manufacturer of all-weather cameras which are strong outdoors, highly water-resistnat, splash-proof, and dustproof, small and light, easily portable and tough (durable).
Sony
Expect new DSLRs from Sony this year - and lots of’em. I received an email tip from someone who provided accurate info on the A900 that the entire Sony Alpha DSLR lineup will be replaced in 2009. I don’t know whether all the cameras will drop at PMA, but I expect to see several there. I would say that the A300/A350 (Read Photography Bay’s Sony A350 Review) and A700 are ripe for replacement at PMA. Additionally, don’t count out CES as a possible news outlet for Sony Alpha DSLRs. The A200 was announced at CES 2008, which was prior to the A300/A350 announcement at PMA
