This is a legitimate link to Nikon Rumors, the actual URL was a bit long but can be found here
Nikon will soon announce the D3200 DSLR camera which will replace the current D3100 ($549). The expected specs are:

24 MP sensor
11 AF points
4 fps
ISO range: 100-6400, with hi-ISO of 12800
Improved video functionality
The Nikon D3200 will have some kind of a Wi-Fi connection that is supposed to offer few very interesting new features
Announcement in April, 2012

    On a slightly related note, I'm gonna be sad if they totally skip putting the awesome D7000 sensor into a D300s body, and go straight to 24 MP DX in a D400 this year.

    Of course judging by the D800, there's not much hope... Nikon seems to be in the mood to cannibalize lineups (D3X) ...as well as leapfrog entire ranges... (12-36 megapixels)

    Oh well. Bring it on! I dunno how close it can come to the D700 / D3, though. Judging by how far above the D3X sensor is above the A900, and various other Sony / Nikon shared sensors, ...Sony's A77 24 megapixel DX sensor seems to be too far down the scale. Nikon would have to improve the ISO by what, a stop and a half at least?

    Yep. 24 megapixels just gives us less of a chance of having 8 FPS. Of course it wouldn't be impossible, considering that Canon cranks 18 megapixel 14-bit lossless RAW files at 8 FPS in the 7D. (And Nikon has 12-bit, compressed NEF modes available...)

    The megapixel wars are done. This is the new megapixel war. You can thank Sony for killing a lot of engineering assumptions.
