Nikon Digital SLR Timeline

Great, easy to read representation of Nikon D-SLR model evolution and capabilities can be found in Wikipedia: Template:Nikon DSLR cameras - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Great info, especially for folks like me that think they have too many models. Maybe I can keep them straight now. Thanks Eduard.

It seems that the new D7000 is a class of its own.
It does not precede any other models. Hmmmmmmm.

Ranie, that is interesting. I thought the D7k was the replacement for the D90 but maybe it isn't. Since they are keeping the D90, maybe they are going to have both. The D90 is still a great camera and I don't see myself replacing it anytime soon. If I did get another camera I would seriously look at the D7k as another body but not a replacement. The D90 is just too good a camera, IMO

Mark, I thought so too, but I guess not in this case. The D90 is a very good camera. In fact, it became Nikon's best seller like the D80 which it replaced. I have a D90 too and Im very happy with it.
