They took a while, but Amazon’s got D300 pre-orders up now too:
You can keep track of the Nikon D300’s availability on this page.

Amazon just put up their Sony ?700 pages and the camera is now available for pre-order. Amazon has a first-come, first-served policy with pre-orders, so if you’re planning on getting one, you’d better get in line now.
The ?700 (body only) is initially showing out of stock with no pre-order option. Both kits show availability of December 15, 2007; however, Sony has already said the a700 body only and 18-70 kit would ship in October, while the 16-105 kit will ship in November. I imagine that Amazon is being rather conservative with availability dates as they were with the Canon 40D.

Sony is expanding its a (Alpha) digital SLR system with the introduction of the DSLR-A700 camera, which is aimed at photo enthusiasts or serious photo hobbyists.
The new model features advanced imaging technologies and ultra-responsive operation, as well as a lightweight, dust- and moisture-resistant, magnesium alloy construction common to enthusiast-class D-SLR cameras. [Read more…]

It looks like Sony UK is in the process of turning on the Alpha 700 portion of its site. It’s been up and down for a few hours now.
Here’s what’s been gleaned form the the specs:
12.4 megapixel CMOS sensor backed by a BIONZ image processor, 3-inch, 921,000 pixel LCD, 3200 maximum ISO (with a ridiculous ISO 6400 “expanded mode”), 11 point autofocus, and wireless flash support.

More screen grabs:
Photoclub Alpha has a thorough post covering the leak. I imagine that we’ll get the official word from Sony tomorrow.
I’ll keep you posted on the latest developments. Stay tuned.

The buzz on the next offering from Sony is in full swing now. Check out this post on the upcoming announcement, which I think is in Korean. Based on what I can translate with a little help from Google, it says the key features include:
Announcement should be very soon. There’s plenty of buzz that Sony will announce on September 5th or 6th (apparently, at a press conference in the UK). The Korean site linked above mentions a availability date in November – not unlike the Nikon D300.
