In a way, it's going to be worse than the D80 - no AF motor, an overmegapixeled chip and no D300 features. A clear division line is going to be made between the Dxx and Dxxx series, the former being for pure amateurs, the latter being more pro. So the D90 will be probably closer to cameras like the D60 etc... Sorry to say so but that's the way Nikon plans to do it.

Come on Nikon, give us the D300 sensor in a D200 body with the D300 LCD display for less than 1000 Euro and almost any of us will hurry to get the D90. Such a combination would be a real improvement. And Nikon, drop life view on the D90. That belongs to point and shoot but does not improve any taken picture.
