Nikon makes development announcement for D4S

[bchernicoff]

"As Nikon's new flagship model, the D4S will offer advances over the Nikon D4 digital SLR camera that include even better image quality enabled with adoption of a new image-processing engine, and more advanced autofocusing performance."

This doesn't sound like a new sensor is in the works, which I find very surprising. Maybe they aren't ready to tip their hand yet.

Doesn't a "D4S" mean there won't be a new Nikon sports camera for another 3 years? The "S" is the stop gap measure, similar to the "D3S". If you are saying Nikon is developing a new sensor for release sooner than 3 years from now, then would it not be a high MP successor to what's in the D800? And if so, would it also not be a "pro" body, but rather a D800-like body?
