The Nikon D90 will be released sometime in the very near future, perhaps at Photokina or even before. It will have a 12mp sensor, 4.5 frames per second, a larger LCD, live view and potentially (and most controversial), it is rumored to have video recording support. Some are predicting tomorrow, June 16th, will be the day that the Nikon D90 drops. Intended as a competitor for Canon’s 40D, it will probably be what the D80 was to the D200 - a skimmed down version with most of the same features, in a slightly smaller body. It will sport a 12mp DX format sensor and a 3″ LCD screen, as well as some sort of video recording software.

The retail price is $1299 with the 18-105mm VR kit lens.
