Nikon D3100 has already released. Photography enthusiast specially those Nikonians are waiting for the replacement for Nikon D90. D90 was one of the Nikon's best buy because of it's full features.

According to Nimesh Thakkar of Nikon India mentioned in a Q&A session that there are no plans to replace the D90 and the D700:

Q13: Is there going to be a D700x or D700s? If yes, then when could we expect it? – Dr. Parth
Ans: Dear Dr. Parth, At present, there are no plans to replace Nikon D700.

Q14: When D90 replacement is going to be launched? I’m planning to buy a D90. Is it the correct time to buy it or should I wait? Is there any chance of D90 price drop in another 1 month? – Deb
Ans: Dear Deb, At present, there are no plans to introduce any replacement camera and no price drop can be committed.
My suggestion is that technologies keep changing; you have to decide when to buy. I suggest, do not wait, Nikon D90 is a hot cake, go grab it.

  7. This is truly one of the best camera from Nikon. Been thinking of upgrading from D90 to D7000 but the budget couldn't afford too much. Just thinking if the D7000 would suit amateur photographers like me. I think D90 is too much already but I can't help to drool over this awesome piece of camera. :) Also, I think it is a good investment. :D
