Serious drool
I have been a happy owner of the Nikon D1X for about two years and I love it. I am a long-time (30 year) Nikon user, have a bunch of bodies (F-2's) and lenses (fisheye through 500) and tried a couple of the smaller digital cameras before springing for the D1X.
About a year ago, Nikon announced the D2H - the "H" models are lower resolution and faster (less data to move) models primarily oriented toward the sports and action photography markets. They are excellent cameras, just don't expect poster-sized images from them. The D1H was announced about a year before the D1X and now, Nikon has announced that they will begin shipping the D2X early next year.
From Rob Galbraith's
Digital Photography Insights website:
bq. Nikon today has unveiled the D2X, a higher-resolution sibling to the D2H and replacement for the 3-year-old D1X.
And more:
bq. The big news is the CMOS sensor at the heart of the D2X. At 12.21 million pixels, D2X photos have roughly double the number of pixels of any current Nikon digital SLR.
Some nice features - I'll wait for a year to let the firmware settle out a bit (think Kodak DCS-14) but this will definitely be the upgrade platform of choice.
