The company has seemingly begun the process of discontinuing its D300s and D700 camera models. According to a report over at Electronista Nikon has added the two cameras to the old products listing it has on the Japanese version of their website.

This move by the company is seen as an indication that Nikon are about to finally release both the Nikon D800 and D400 models, which have recently appeared in a variety of leaks. It is thought that the D400 is a straight replacement for the D400, while the D800 is seen as the natural successor for the D700.

Nikon has yet to confirm any details about either model though but there have been plenty of leaks. With regards of the D800 it is thought it will offer a smaller form factor with a sloped shutter controls similar to those found on the D4.

It is believed that Nikon has decided to have used a 36-megapixel sensor, and have designed the device to take on the rival Cannon EOS 5D Mark II, while exact launch dates for both the D800 and D400 are still unclear but the D800 is believed to be around the $2,700 mark. Update: Nikon Rumors are now saying the D800 will be officially revealed on February 7th and should ship within a few weeks of the announcement.
