Nikon would be nuts to come out with a "near" full frame sensor. They have spent years developing a very respectable line of DX lenses that would not work on the new camera. You can barely get the 28-70 2.8 and the 14mm is almost impossible to find so again, wide angle would be a problem. I agree that a D3 will be coming soon as the D2 is just not competitive compared with the D200(price/performance) ratio and the whole crop thing for high speed shooting.
