Right now the prices are all out of whack due to shortages caused by the Thai floods.
The manufacturer's price is $900 for the D90 body and $1200 for the D7000 body. Once the Nikon factory in Thailand is back up and running I imagine the prices will go back down to around there.
I'm not planning on getting a new camera until I get my tax return at the earliest (most likely Feb). Hopefully production will be normal by then. In the meantime I'm just doing research.
For me the biggest selling point of the D7000 is the 39 AF points vs. the D90's 11. Also the fact that the body is Magnesium alloy vs. the D90's plastic body.
I just don't know if the upgrades are worth the extra money for what I'll be using it for :(
