There's also a new lens the 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 VR. It seems most of the speculations have been correct. I think this is a very good step forward in the line of the D80 introducing several new features such as live view, movie mode, better LCD and faster continuous shooting together with a shutter tested for up to 100.000 actuations in a single package. The new lens is also interesting if it's optically sound.
