Rumors: Nikon D800/D800E replacement coming in June

... a new target for Ricoh to aim at?

This one's pretty obvious: they're going to give the D800 the same AF and firmware enhancements that the D4s got!

They most likely plan some more FF cameras.
However, when an 35mm Pentax comes out, even if spec'd same as D810 (or whatever is named), yet priced $700 below, people will moan.

I do not think they are.
It is often customary for Pentax engineers that they have no special wish to follow anyone or anything. When they deliver a camera, it will be a value of its own.
Online geeks will try to “compare it” with whatever else, but it’s a lost case. Because although the sensors may be same, everything is in fact different, including how that sensor works.

I wonder if Nikon has sold existing stock of D800 cameras and if they will be sold at fire sale prices. I thought the life cycle of full frame cameras was supposed to be 3 years unless something was seriously screwed up, like in the D600.
