More megapixel. Everybody knows that more megapixel equals better photo.
But hey, I want everybody to buy as much new cameras and such as they can, as it gives Nikon/Canon/etc valuable researchmoney that we al provit from. 8)

yep...
and.... well, i for one wouldn't mind having two cameras when i go places... one telephoto, and one for more a "walk-about" or something to that nature.
when i think about upgrading; it definately comes after the lenses...

Where did you see this information at? All I see is that it is 10.2mp is the only firm info I have.

Well the new camera is going to sit between the D200 and D50. It features the same sensor as the Sony A100 so it doesn't take much to figure the specs
10mp allows a small amount of cropping over a 6mp camera but I doubt many are going to be printing 30"x20" images where the difference in resolution is slightly noticeable.
If I had a D70s the I would rather spend the difference for the upgrade in some quality glass where it’s actually possible to where your money goes
Just my view anyway.

Ken Rockwell's speculation:

10 Megapixels, up from 6.
Works fine with old manual focus AI and AI-s lenses in A and M exposure modes. Tiny possibility it may also allow P and S exposure modes with manual lenses.
2.5" LCD, up from 2.0"
4.5 FPS, up from 3.
1/250 sync speed, down from 1/500.
Top panel illumination now switched on by twisting the power button, just like D200, D2X, etc. The D70 had a separate button. The D80 is an improvement.
Takes SD cards, not CF.
Rotary, not slider, viewfinder diopter control.
Slight rearrangement of buttons on rear.
Dedicated AF selection button on top of camera, a big improvement from D70 which required a menu to select between AF-S or AF-C.
Price: $899.

Seems like the packed a bunch of features from the pro series to the lower end model..
D50's will be disgustingly cheap now :\
70-300mm telezoom with VR.. drooool..
but just for a hundred more you can get the 18-200 and I'd never have to switch lenses again.
