This is the first I’ve heard of this but Nikon supposedly has a new pro-sumer body coming out that is 12.1MP and FULL FRAME!
Looks nice.
In my experience since following trends in new bodies, most drop significantly 6months to a year after becoming available. That a decent rebate could put it closer.
Coventional wisdom is also not to be a buyer of the first shipments. Let others be the guinea pigs. The Canon MKIII was/is the classic example of that
we both expect the body to retail between $2500 and $3000. Not exactly answering my prayers – I want a D300 class camera with a full frame sensor. 🙂 Meaning $1500 ish.

This is the most credible leak I’ve ever seen. But, I haven’t seen anything but pure speculation on price.
It wouldn’t be out of character for Nikon to deliver a feature set at a retail price below what your tummy says it should be. And they never seem to simply match the competition, but sort of pick a gap and exploit it very well.
Nikon is surely ready for a full-frame option for their advanced amateur/not-quite-pro segment, and it seems to me those guys need a price under your range. My wild guess would be $2,200 and a post-hysteria price of $1,900?
My other wild guess would be that the conventional wisdom of an imminent high-megapixel D3x is wrong. Emphasis on imminent.
