You may be right, but I hope not.
Now that I have my D300, I sold my D90. I didn't want the D7000 for it's about the same size as the D90. I want something the build of the D300!!!
I think we may get something built as solidly as the D300, but I doubt it will be as big. Basically a D7000, with an updated sensor (perhaps just the D3200 sensor though, as I dont think Sony even makes a better APS-C sensor than that right now anyway), better AF system, build quality of D800, body size of the D600, body focus motor, shooting speed of the D300 with a grip is what I would put my money on.
I'd also guess the D7000 line will be done away with, and a D5200 will split the difference between the D400 and the D3200 feature set wise. I know that's at odds with how Hogan and some others see it shaking out, but given the sensor they put in the D3200, and what they released in the D600, I don't see how they can 'fit' 3 models between the D3200 and the D600. And I don't see them outspecing an FX camera with a DX camera.
As far as I can see, and correct me if I'm wrong, but Nikon has nothing competing with the Canon 7D, which to my knowledge is a higher price point that the D7000 level is. So there definitely room to expand for 1 more body.
The D300S still competes with the 7D.
