Rumor: Nikon D700?

This is the spyshot of the Nikon D700 DSLR. It is rumored to have a D300 body with D3’s FX sensor. Also, the lens pictured is an upgraded version of Nikon’s AF-S 24-120mm VR unit. The Nikon D700 is expected to be announced in August and start selling in December at the price of $3,300.
Specifications from Kenrockwell:
Body: D300 body marked “D700″ with an added “FX” logo from a D3. The flash sync and remote control covers are still captive, but round.
Sensor: 12.1MP CMOS, same as D3. 14-bit linear ADC, 16-bit data pipelines, as the D3.
Resolution: 12.1MP in FX, 5MP in DX.
Format: FX and DX, just like D3.
Frame Rate: 5 FPS; up to 6.5 FPS in cropped DX mode.
Rear LCD: 3.”
Storage: Single CF card. Too bad; I love the in-camera backup of the D3’s dual card slots.
Data Communication: USB.
Optional Macho-Man Grip: MB-D10.
