Nice tripod, PB PM. It looks familiar to me!

Matsu, that does sound just perverse enough to be believable! But what sensor might the low-end FX model use? Not the D4 sensor, unless we're talking at least a year out, and not the D3S sensor, since I suspect it's about as good as the D4 above ISO 3200.

My point is that event photographers would quickly move to AF-S lenses — if they're not already using them — in order to use a cheap FX camera with world-class high-ISO capabilities. That would severely undermine D4 sales, in much the same way the D700 undermined D3 sales. High-ISO performance is what matters to these guys, from what I can tell. Lots of photographers would happily give up tank-like build quality and ten frames per second in exchange for a much lower price.
