Nikon D800??? Are the rumors true?

thegridrunner

All of a sudden, numerous websites are reporting the update to the D700. Nikon rumors mentioned that the camera will use a 36mp sensor.:barb
36mp seems a bit high, I will probably set the camera to shoot at 18mp for most of my shooting. I hope this is true, I've been waiting for an update of the D700 for awhile now. I just hope the sensor can shoot in 1080p 24fps as well as 30fps, otherwise this is a deal breaker.
What do you guys think?
