At the time of it's release, the D90 was the DX flagship for Nikon. For DX sensors today, that would be a D7100 or the newly released D7200.
I can't speak as a user of FX, but I'd take a long look at the D750.

I upgraded my D90 to a D7000. Today I would go for the D7200. There really is a small learning curve between the D90 and the D7000. Any of these upgrades would be great, but the D90 is very hard to beat in any sense.

Got the D7200 this week. So new there is no RAW file support in any Adobe or Nikon product that I can find yet. That'll come soon I'm sure. Improved low light performance, bigger buffer for more continuous shots, a new 24.2MP sensor and the Expeed4 processing engine all made it worth it to me. I'm really liking it so far. $1199 most everywhere, if you can get one. Short supply at the moment. Good luck.

I have kept my D90 as my back-up camera. I suggest that you do the same, and look at either a new D7200 or a D7100 (with significant price drop). Here is a side-by-side comparison, with differences in darker blue boxes: http://photographylife.com/nikon-d7200-vs-d7100 Also, Refurbished camera bodies will be more affordable, and just as dependable as "new-in-box".

I started with the
D90 and made a few intermediate purchases till I settled on the D610, which I love. The D750 is, nice, but a bit more expensive.

Your first decision is whether to stick with the DX format or change to FX. That decision should be based in part on the expense of FX lenses.

I went from th D 90 to a D 7000, D 600 replaced with a D610. Now I am also shooting a Fuji XT1. Funny how it goes.
The 610's I own are my 2 workhorses, they are not to big and really comfortable to work with.

What do you do with your images in the meantime? Is there any indication that Adobe is working on this? It's too bad Nikon can't release the necessary information to Adobe prior to releasing the camera.

First thing to decide is how much is invested with the DX lenses, it you have some. The second is what do you like to shoot? Third, is money to spend. Once you answer those questions, you are ready to make that next buying decision for you! FX isn't for everyone and there are some great DX camera's out there. I wish I kept my D90 for a back up. Great camera!

Great post about how to make a decision. What is famous about the D90 it was the first DSLR with video. The D series goes on I was recently at an event and the extra photographers were using D Nikons to shoot. That said when i got my D7000 I knew Nikon was moving in a good direction again. If you plan on staying
DX crop lens is the big decision. When I switched to full frame
over period time spent a lot on acquiring FF lens. That is the
issue. Good luck.

My 5cent opinion is that whatever format body you buy - DX or FX - buy only FX lenses. You will never have to fret about your sensor size. The lenses are built better, usually have better optics. You can get wonderful deals on used AF--D glass. I have a D300s and 7 Nikkor lenses. All are FX, 4 are primes and only 2 were bought new. I also shoot with a D700 so I have fantastic flexibility in my focal length options. Just my opinion.

I also have a D90 and my next move when money allows will either be a D610 or preferably a D750, all my lenses are older made for film cameras so in good shape there. P.S. I will certainly hang onto the D90 for spare. I have never researched warranties on refurbished bodies not sure if they are equal buying new. As far as purchase price they seem to be only a couple hunded dollars less than new. Gud luck

When I moved from a D90 to FX, I did not realize how many expensive FX lenses I would need (want). Even so, I don't regret the move.
