The official announcement of the much-speculated Nikon D200 DSLR must be getting pretty close now, with rumors getting stronger and sounding more reliable.

Darren Rowse over at the Digital Photography Blog has been sent some info from an ‘in-the-know’ reader on the specifications for the D200 (not sure how accurate they’ll turn out to be, but I’ll wager they’re pretty close to the mark). The interesting bits include:

• Sensor: 12.4 megapixel 23.7mm x 15.7mm CMOS sensor
• ISO: 100-800
• Storage: Compact Flash Type I and II and Microdrive
• Rear LCD: 2.5″ with 235,000 pixels
• Continuous Shooting: 3fps for 10 frames at full resolution NEF, 5fps for 18 frames at half resolution NEF
• Instant power-on and 52ms shutter release lag
• Shutter speed up to 1/8,000 second and flash sync up to 1/250 second

The article also notes a couple of other D200 mentions, one in a LowePro catalog and another on an upcoming cover of Digit Weekly magazine, suggesting the announcement date is fairly imminent.
