A few hours ago DC.Watch published an article called "Nikon announces the introduction of this year's pro / high amateur model" where Nobuyoshi Gokyu (Nikon Managing Executive Officer and Video Business Manager) was quoted saying:

"Following the D7500 that we introduced the other day, we will introduce the second new product this year, so please expect it because we will introduce a model that you can fully convince pro and high amateur people" (Google translation)

Here is a slightly better translation from a reader:

"We'll release the second new product this year after the D7500 which has come out recently. That product will be what pros and enthusiasts appreciate very much. Stay tuned."

No other details were given, but I would like to think that this reference was for the upcoming Nikon D850 DSLR camera.
