I can believe the rumoured feature set for the D600 it's enough of a drop from the D800 to avoid hurting sales on that model (and in fact to relieve some of the inventory issues as well) I have doubts about $1500 if it is anything other than an apsc replacement for the D700/D300 in one unit. 1999 OTOH if it is FF is a highly probably price point. whether it is a 1500 or 1999 ff they will sell as many as they can supply, so why leave $500 on the table and kill any model above the d5200, while leaving a huge gap to the D800. anything less than 1999 is bad marketing unless it's actually an apsc unit
@ 1500 the line ends up being d3200/d5200/d600/d800/800e/d4 it misses at least 1 apsc above the d5200 but a 1500 ff makes a 1200 apsc with the same feature set a very tough sell, not to mention a new model of the d7000 would likely come in higher then drop as it ages
so realistically this looks better d3200/d5200/d7200/d600/d800/d4 or $700/$900/$1300/1999/3000/6000
