I don't think there's room for $2500+ APSC cameras any more. The D300 basically bettered the D2X in every way. It's a pro camera in every aspect except the sensor and nothing you could add to it would really drive up the cost. Video is just a part of any new CMOS sensor, and updated processors, AF, etc, are just commodities that get shared throughout the line-up as time passes. The body won't get a bigger viewfinder, more waterproofing, sensor cleaner, etc, it already has all that.

No, the most expensive APSC camera anybody will sell will still be under $1800. $1500 street within a year.

That said, a "budget" FX camera will have to appear sooner or later, and Nikon and Canon had best be prepared for some competition this year. It's possible that both Sony and Pentax will have very strong value full frame cameras this year.
