I can now confirm the the announcement date for the Nikon D800/E camera replacement: June 26th. Here again are the rumored specifications:

The new mode will most likely be called D800s

36MP sensor

No AA filter (just like the D800E, this time Nikon will only introduce one model without the AA filter)

Improved software to suppress moiré

Expeed 4 imaging processor (they may call it Expeed 4a)

New higher resolution LCD screen

sRAW

Improved video capabilities

Same AF improvements like in the D4s

Improved low light capabilities: one stop better ISO performance

Built-in GPS

No Built-in Wi-Fi

Improved frame rate at 5 fps (6fps with the MB-D12)

The new camera will be lighter (compared to the D800/D800E)

The price is expected to be higher than the D800E ($3,296.95)

The camera will be made in Thailand
