a D90 anytime soon???

Based on Nikon's track record in trickle-down-technology models, and the
relative newness of the D80, I would guess it would be 9 months to a year.

Again Nikon takes about 2 years to replace a camera, look to early
2009, Next year will be the high mp pro camera. Then if the rumor mill
is anywhere near right a 35mm frame D300 to compete with the Canon 5D
or its replacement. The D90 will be after that.

I'd like to see a camera the size of the D40, with all the D300
features. (I'd be willing to pay the D300 price for it.)

I bought the D70 when it first came out, but I don't use it much
because it's too bulky (I take most of my pictures when traveling).
The D40 is a surprisingly decent stopgap (I use it with a manual focus
45mm f/2.8P lens and a Katz Eye screen). When it comes to portability,
my comparison standard is my trusty FM2.

Nikon needs to miniaturize a top-line digital camera.
