EOS xD – pro
EOS xxD – high end enthusiast/semi-pro
EOS xxxD – consumer

Of course what Canon will do in 10 years after they’ve released the EOS 9D is anyone’s guess :P

So the D60 could be replaced with a 'D65' for example. ‘D(2 digit) will be retired, having used all of those numbers’

No they haven’t, they could do the same as Canon and change more than the first digit. So the D60 could be replaced with a ‘D65′ for example.

Probably the D3 should be FX1, and the D3x should be FX1x (probably too much Xes, but makes sense and keeps it clean). I so agree.

I think the Nikon D5000 will look something similar to it. I don't think that the swivel LCD is a good move but that's just my opinion.

That kind of makes sense for APS-C, the D700 FF kind of takes over as semi pro and so the D400 level camera replaces D90/D300 and is the lowest level with in body motor.. “They will merge the semi pro and enthusiats lines.’

Why? I have three "old" quality lenses. I missed the internal AF motor on the D40 and I don't really fancy manual focusing all the time with "old" AF lenses and I can't afford the AF-S lens prices (in some cases you can get two AF-D lenses for one AF-S lens). I also prefer to have an aperture ring, which the "G" lenses lack. If the new entry-level Nikon, whatever it's called, offers the same level of functions but without the multi-function buttons of the D90, one command dial and no top LCD, I would only really consider buying one if the AF motor was in the body.

He mentioned the D5000 and i thought the use of the 1000's digit in the D series by nikon was weird because they only had DSLRs with model names that contained at most 3 digits, but I guess he was right. He said something about ISO 6400 capabilities and Nikon pushing the technology to make shooting at ISO 6400 a possibility in a clear and correct fashion....we'll see I guess. i work at a catering hall and the other night i was talking to a photographer who had a D3x and a D3, one with a 70-200 f/2.8, the other a 14-24 f/2.8.

As for new & specials, LCD will be new generation, best ever used in any camera not only in terms of tilting but also in resolution and picture quality. What more do you want really from an entry level model, D90 brains in a D40 sized body with brand new LCD screen. Nikon will continue to sell D90 as a camera of choice for more serous amateurs, so D5000 is targeted just bellow it. There will of course be no top info LCD, but that is not expected from an entry level camera of this size. Sorry no picture, though I am sure there are brochures ready by now.
