there can't be a d400 replacement since there never was a d400 to
replace.

you presumably mean the d300/d300s replacement, which is/was the
d7000/d7100, the d600/d610 and the rumoured d7200.

Uh, so, yeah - the words "successor" and "replacement" aren't synonyms. Nospam is
correct that nothing can *replace* the D400, since there never was a D400. There
could, however, be a D300S *successor*, which of course needn't have anything to
do with a hypothetical D400.

Perhaps not in the Popinjay thesaurus, but they are synonyms in real
thesauri.

This is a good example of one word, no matter how seemingly
insignificant, can change meaning. If Android had written "Is all
hope for a D400 replacement gone?" it would have been understood to
mean a replacement for the D300s if it was in the context of a
discussion about what Nikon will offer as a replacement for the D300s.
There was some talk that Nikon would replace the D300s with a model
called the D400. It never came to fruition.

The word "replacement", in the context of the model following the
D300s, is perfectly acceptable. "Successor" would also be acceptable.

I was writing on that slippery iTab thingy... Soo sorry! ;-/

nope.

there was never a d400 so there never can be a replacement or a
successor for it.

it's obvious what he meant (d300s successor), but this newsgroup loves
to nitpick on spelling, phrasing and word choice.

There was some talk that Nikon would replace the D300s with a model
called the D400. It never came to fruition.

actually it did, but since nikon changed their naming nomenclature
several years ago, it was called the d7000 and d600 (they split the
model into two), followed by the d7100 and d610.

rumour has it that the d7200 is coming soon.

The word "replacement", in the context of the model following the
D300s, is perfectly acceptable. "Successor" would also be acceptable.

for the d300s, sure, and that has been out for years as well as *its*
successors.

however, it's not acceptable for a non-existent d400.

No, it didn't. You are so intent with arguing that you are not
reading. "...a model called the D400" never came to fruition.

you're the one who isn't reading and you snipped the part where i
explained what happened, completely misrepresenting what i said so that
you can argue.

again, it wasn't called the d400 because nikon changed how it names
cameras and because they split it into two models, one a little lower
spec (d7000) and one a little higher spec (d600).
