Nikon D4x DSLR Rumor: Alleged Nikon Roadmap says Q4 2010

A user on a Czech forum (here via NikonRumors.com) has posted what he claims may be from a 37 page Nikon document outlining Nikons product release roadmap for 2009-2010.

Here is what it says about the Nikon D4X:

Released 4th Quarter 2010 Nikon D4X - new features: 30.2 millions, FX sensor completely new design with maximized by increasing the sensitivity of more than 1 EV as "ultra-fast pixel register cache", which allows to double the frame rate or increase dynamic range, including effective aid noise reduction with natural lodging details. [S] 6.736 x 4.490 Continuous high-speed mode: FX 6 fps, 10 fps with a double-exposure phase detection AF & mirror up 5/sec., DR enhanced double-exposure mode: Auto, manual setting of time for both the ISO and exposure in "M", "A", "S" and "P" mode with a semi-double exposure corrections in the range of + -5 EV in the range of 1 s. and 1 / 8000 p. and ISO 200-6400 Format dNEF, ISO 100 - 6400, Lo-1, Hi 1 Movie - mode: 1920 * 1080 at 30 fps

Our Take:

Too early for the D4x, would make the D3x product life cycle less than 2 years. The in-camera HDR (double exposure to increase dynamic range) is straight out of Thom Hogans wish list.

Update:The same poster posted this further down the thread when someone asked him to produce the document, basically saying he found out it was a 'little joke' after spending 3 hours translating it (via Google Translate):

The answer came to me by mail:

• I idiot when I disclose
• It's little joke allegedly staff with responsibilities for their beloved colleagues and supervisors with shipper from the center
• So it's supposedly fancy, but had to give mad work was concerned about his colleagues were extremely happy and very creative. And from me therefore I did laugh and I to 3 hours to translate.
