According to NR, the D90 replacement will be called the D95, have a magnesium body (like the D300s), 16Mp sensor, 1080 video, 6 f.p.s., new 39 point AF system, and retail for $1199 (body only).
If true, this camera could decimate D300s sales (more Mp's, higher quality video, only slightly slower frame rate). The big jump in price is also a concern - the $1k price point is a big barrier for a lot of people, and the D90 and it's predecessors have always been high volume cameras.
Presumably the 16mp sensor is from the rumored upcoming Sony DSLR's.
