Any rumors of a Nikon 5200?

[OKW Lover]

Just wondering if anybody has heard of a pending release of a new Nikon model.

I'm about to pull the trigger on a 5100. Noticed a $50 drop in the price on Amazon a couple of days ago, making it $50 less than a 3200. I'm wondering if this is a move to clear out inventory before releasing a newer model in the 5K series.

Rumors mostly hold that Nikon will release an update to the D7000 and D300s before the D5100, as both of those have been on the market longer. There may also be a new budget "entry-level" full-frame model coming soon, with a price point possibly as low as $1500 which would be called the D600. Some think the D600 will also be the successor to the D300s. But I suspect we're still the better part of a year away from a D5200 — I'd start to expect that one next spring.
