Whats next? Nikon D800 or D700s

I have been reading several discussion about what is the future Nikon product. Are we going to see an upgrade like Nikon D700s or fully working new model which could be called Nikon D800? I am going to make my personal bet not only for cheapest full frame dslr however also for top model which for sure will be Nikon D5 and not D4.

Or can we say Leica D-Lux 5 vs D-Lux 4? :)

I am probably not the only one who said when first hear about Panasonic Lumix LX4 "Thats it!" LX4 was probably first compact camera with all manual feature any even DSLR user can imagine. What is more finally with real wide angle fast lens. Lumix LX3 so become another camera along with my Nikon Dslr. Now we have an upgrade: Panasonic LX5... reason enough to upgrade or not? How about LX6 rumours? :) UPDATE: Fuji X100 i is here... new man in the town?
