The Nikon M.O. is they don't make major changes in an 's' model, just
like Canon doesn't usually make major changes in an 'n' model (1D2 vs
1D2n). So I think it would have been very unexpected for them to come out with a D3s that has a different number of megapixels. Furthermore, Nikon has had a long-established 4-year schedule for major improvements. My guess is that this camera will need to hold people over for two more years before Nikon comes out with a D4.
If you combine this with the Canon G11, which actually went *backwards* in resolution, there is mounting evidence for that. However, I still don't think it's the end. I think there are still enough photographers that want more resolution. Time will tell.
