Will the price of the Nikon D7000 come down soon with newer generation cameras coming out?

Should I stop waiting for the price of the Nikon D7000 to come down? I've seen that Nikon will be offering the Nikon D800 for retail sale soon. Does that mean there will also be a Nikon D8000 available soon, and will the availability of any newer generation Nikon cause the D7000 to be reduced in price?

DSLR cameras only go down in price once a replacement model for that specific camera comes out

since the announcement of the D800, the D700 (NOT the D7000) has dropped in price by $500. Until there's a D8000 (or whatever the replacement model will be), don't expect a price drop in the D7000

If you look on the Nikon Website, you will see that the D90 that was replaced by the D7000 was reduced about $300, yet is still being sold.

What this may tell you is that when the new replacement for the D7000 is eventually released, a similar discount may be available.

However, if you need or want a D7000, waiting around for that to happen may not be a good idea.

The D80 was replaced two years later by the D90 and another two years elapsed before the D7000 became available. What that means is that it may be that the replacement for the D7000 may not be showing up until about the end of the year or beginning of 2013.

As dSLR's become more and more sophisticated, the time between new updates has become longer and longer. It could be, that we will not be seeing many changes in the + $1, 000 cameras for as long as three years. Just remember, the Nikon D3 is just now being replaced by the D4, 4 years after its introduction.

Don't count on it. Price could go up like it did with the D40. I'd guess it'd be a D7100.
If you want the D7000, I'd buy it now.

The major camera makers don't often drop their prices. One example I have is the Fuji s9000.
It's been discontinued for at least 3 years but is still selling for $1, 000.
