Thom's Take on the D2xs
http://www.bythom.com/

"
Note that the D2xs image quality hasn't really changed (one might argue that the AdobeRGB change can impact quality, I suppose). All the changes are what I would characterize as operational changes, making the camera more responsive, easier to use, and more flexible. The EN-EL4a is something that all current D2x users can take advantage of, and Nikon has indicated that all of the other non-hardware features will be made available to D2x users in a firmware upgrade this fall."

More of a "Souped-Up" and enhanced D2x, quite similar to the upgrades done to the D70, and currently the D70s.

Any news on camera updates eventually means price cuts on the rest of the line, so it's all good! :Grin: Bring on the D50s and D200s! :D
