Nikon guru Thom Hogan claims that the new Nikon D90, replacement for the D80, will feature a video recording (with sound) ability which no other DSLR offers so far. Frankly speaking, I would expect this kind of feature to be announced with an entry-level Nikon that will address to P&S camera owners who are willing to upgrade to a DSLR but don't want to compromise the video recording feature. Anyway, this feature may become a big selling point for D90, even I can consider one if the recording quality is decent.

Other features of Nikon D90 according to Thom Hogan:

- 12 megapixels CMOS sensor
- 4.5 fps shooting speed
- HDMI connection
- GPS connection

And he also says that a new kit lens will be announced and bundled with D90: 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G DX VR (28-150mm equivalent on 35mm) which would be a good cheap alternative to famous Nikon 18-200 VR and answer to the users who complain about the lack of entry level VR lenses in the Nikon line-up.
