It's just not any better than what was already out. A couple more useless megapixels... less than a 1/3 stop better ISO over the D90. The people that claim it has better ISO performance than that drank too much koolaid. This was basically confirmed when the D7000 teardown took place and revealed it actually had the old Sony sensor and not the new Nikon sensors everyone expected.
And from the ones I've tried and the people I know that own them about 60-80% of the bodies are flawed in that the images rendered just aren't sharp at all. Example, we took several bodies set them up in a test scenario and one was able to produce sharp images while the others just could not. They weren't out of focus, they just couldn't produce a sharp image. There are a lot of complaints about this and the main reason people think the Body Only boxes were only available for sale for a few minutes and then pulled, and just became available again this week.

Bottom line is Nikon most likely had a success with marketing and sold tons but I don't know a single person going from D90 to D7000 or D300s/D300 to D7000 who is happy about their purchase. If buying today I'd get a D90 over a D7000. It just doesn't offer anything over the D90 worth the extra $400-$500.
