question here :
when the nikon D200 was first introduced it was about $1699 (body)and now they are sellng like $979.
i have a nikon D70 and i can snap up a nikon D200 body right now but im not at that point where i need the upgrade yet
im wondering how long before we see the nikon D300 go lower as to price of a body sat $1000-$1200
Well, as cameras have now effectively become computer technology, there will always be a "next big thing" to wait for, and prices on "outdated" gear will be dropping. Trying to get the best of the situation, one would end up never buying anything.
Depending on what you shoot, the difference between a D200 and D300 would be quite significant, or marginal at best. Either will be a large upgrade from a D70 (I used to use a D70s). You just have to ask yourself if you'd rather have a D200 now, or a D300 in 12-18 months at the same price.
The difference between the D70 and D200 is mostly build quality and features. The image quality will be pretty much the same. The D200 is a great camera. That's what I shoot with.

The D40, D50, D70, etc. use the same sensor, but the D80/200 sensor is different enough that I think a quality difference would be noticable. You'd get MORE of a difference investing in glass as always, but there'd be a difference nonetheless.

Headphoneus Supremus: Will upgrade headphones when there's a MX600.
I believe the image processor (signal amplifiers, noise reduction circuits, etc) has more to do with the IQ when it comes to ISO performance. I don't think Sony would have actually designed different 6MP sensors. Rather, the sensors may very well be the same (as in, bought from Sony in a huge batch), but they may be tweaked differently. There are other brands using the same sensors, but even the RAW data will be different because they tweak them differently, put slightly different UV/IR/antialias-filters on top, etc.
Still, I don't have any evidence they're the same, but that's what I got from reading around
