    Depends how long you can hold off for, and how much room there is in your budget......

    I'm waiting for this.... http://blog.chasejarvis.com/blog/2008/08...

    $999 body only though, so would need a bit more for a lens.

    It does 720p HD video though!

    And even if you don't go with the D90, you can get a D80 with 18-135mm lens for a good price (even better probably if you go with another vendor or get a used one like I did):

    @markguim: Hey, thanks! :) Just got the D80 (a couple weeks before the D90 was announced...phooey), and I shot a bunch of pics with it at my brother's wedding festivities. Worked really well; unfortunately I can't publicly post the pictures (well, I don't feel comfortable doing that) to show them off. I'll have to go out shooting some more with the D80 later. Perhaps when the leaves start turning?
