I would be remiss if I did not repeat this rumor, which I came across in the dpreview.com Nikon D3-D1 / D700 forum. I can not vouch for the validity of the rumor, only that I have quoted it in it’s entirety.

“Nikon USA’s PR Dept. D3X is coming…slated for December at the moment. Full Frame, Crop features…24.4 megapixels 9 fps and a host of other features. The price? $6499.99 USD (U.S. Dollars) Its supposed to look identical to the D3, and use many of the same D3 addon’s…but have more megapixels, better noise-reduction software and faster high-speed for sports.”

Many of the regulars at the dpreview forum have joined in the discussion and interestingly enough, most of them seem to think that this rumor has some validity. lf it is true. let’s hope that the price will come down by the time the camera is released.
