The D80 was announced on Aug. 9, 2006, and Phil's Review, dated Sept. 23, 2006, started with the following paragraph:
"Two and a half years ago Nikon announced the six megapixel D70, their first affordable enthusiasts digital SLR, it proved to be a very popular camera and strong competitor to the Canon EOS 300D (Digital Rebel). Just fifteen months later Nikon revealed the D70s which was essentially the same camera with a some subtle tweaks (improved AF, wider flash coverage, higher capacity battery, larger LCD monitor). And so just over fifteen months on from the D70s Nikon present the latest incarnation of their 'enthusiasts' digital SLR line, the ten megapixel D80."
So it's now been about 16 months since the D80 was announced, and there has been a recent D80 price cut, which often precedes the announcement of a successor. All of which leads me to think a D80s/D80x/D90 is about to be unleashed.
Waddaya think?
