    For my D90, my vote would be for a higher resolution display, built in body stabilization, and a bigger variety of slower shutter speeds, down to 10 minutes or more (requiring a menu option to enable them so that people who don't need them accidentally activate it).

    I use a d7000
    -I would like better video. (FPS, res at 4k, etc)
    -a "cheap" full frame prosumer camera
    -even better low light ability

    side note, i want a nikon improved fuji x100. Get on that.

    I think limited it to three is more than enough.

    1) Resolution in the 18-24mp range.
    2) Iso performance closer to the D3s. I'd love to have actual useful shots at least all the way up to 6400. For example 6400=800 on the D700 right now would be wonderful.
    3) Reduction in weight switching to a lighter alloy?

    These three things would be great and I think the improved dynamic range would really be elevated to the point of a dream landscape camera.

    Better than D3x resolution, better than D3s ISO, killer video with 1TB of storage. Oups, that makes it to 4 wishes, sorry Genie. To this I would add not later than next May and under 6K$. I think it's doable.

    (#1) Iso's 25 & 50

    (#2)Bigger buffer

    (#3)In camera post raw editing (namely curves and starring)

    I really want a waterproof f-mount dslr (which is possible) but is not financially feasible enough that nikon would ever bother to make one :(

    Sounds perfect to me. Once I can get one I'll convert my D700 to IR. :]

    My D700 (crazy high actuations) will unfortunately be part of the trade in plus my Leica 35mm F2 Summicron ASPH for the D800 as long as the new body does not cost over 5 grand I should be alright. 300,000 Yen is the apparent fixed price, but obviously nobody knows for sure. This is around 4,500,000 Korean Won or $3900 USD. Come on Nikon make it happen! :)

    Currently using the D7000, wouldn't mind seeing in the next crop sensor camera:

    1) Larger buffer
    2) The 51 point AF sensor of the higher end cameras
    3) Even better low light performance, even if it means as many or less megapixels

    Bonus points for 1080p/60fps video

    Based om my experience with my D700.

    1. Thicker and more well adhered rubber in the gripping positions.
    2. More longevity from AA batteries in the V-Grip when shooting at high FPS.
    3. A hand strap attachment similar to Canon. (I hate using neck straps but do require a strap for some level of assurance.

    Nikon has done a lot right with the D700 and many of their dSLR's. In my opinion, the D700 is just a few minor tweeks away from perfection.
