I have been looking at picking up a Nikon D80 for almost a year now, and just haven't moved on it. Not really sure why actually...
Now that I am about ready to move, finally, I am reading that the D90 is expected to be announced within a month or two. A friend of mine who is a true photography geek mentioned that more than likely this model would use similar hardware to the D300, possibly giving it a much improved ISO performance. This sounds like a feature I may like to have!
Plus, he may be nice enough to let me borrow his spare D200 for a month or so for me to start playing and get some photos of Nolan along the way. Considering I have waited this long to purchase a camera, it might just make sense to wait a couple more months.
If I do borrow his D200, I will probably go ahead and buy a prime 50mm f/1.8 Nikon lens that I was considering picking up first (I think I will hold off on the Nikon 18-200 VR for a little while). For about $100, it sounds like a good place to start.

Choose your lenses wisely, and you'll thank yourself later. I have a Tokina 24-120mm VR that just isn't as sharp as I'd like it to be and feel handicapped every time I go out with it.
The D90, on the other hand, sounds like a sound investment. Good luck!
