Nikon D90 will be 2 years old in 27 August 2010, it is normal for people to speculate the D90 successor. Many hope that D90 will have higher image resolution, at least 14-16 MP or more. Some demands Full HD video.
For me, 12 MP is cool. No problem with that. I rather Nikon to concentrate on its core competency as photographer tools.
I wish Nikon D90 replacement will have:
- 12 MP image sensor
- Better AF system, maybe 21 points system.
- ISO up to 12800, usable up to 6400 (one stop better than D90)
- Continuous burst up to 7 fps
- Price: $899
This way, Nikon will keep its position as the best value mid-range camera.
UPDATE 7/21/2010 :
Nikon Rumors posted this spec as possible Nikon D90 replacement (Nikon D7000)
- 16MP DX sensor
- same noise performance like the D700! (up to ISO 25600)
- full HD video recording
- 8p/s
- new video AF and performance
- parts of the body will be aluminium
UPDATE 10/15/2010 : Nikon D7000 announced. Key features include:
- 16 MP DX sensor
- ISO 100-6400 expandable to 256000
- 6 fps continuous shooting
- new 39 AF point system with AF in live view mode/video
- Magnesium alloy body
- Price: MSRP $1199
Currently, Nikon has a huge gap in their product line between Nikon D90 (MSRP $899) and Nikon D300s (MSRP $1699). Therefore, it makes sense if the rumored camera above (some call it Nikon D8000) is placed between the two (MSRP $1299). This camera will compete directly with Canon EOS 50D (MSRP $1099) or its replacement.

external mic, and longer recording time
AF fine tunning to compensate for back-focusing/front-focusing lenses!
