Is the Nikon D7000 meant to phase out the D90?

So i've narrowed it down to the Nikon D3100 (felt great in my hands at best buy) as i'm not ready to spend $1,000+ on the D7000. But I was wondering if the D90 is being replaced? I see it's been available since 2008. Is that old in professional years?

The D90 is old, but still a great camera. The D7000 is in a way a replacement for the D90, but Nikon still sells both cameras putting the D7000 above the D90 and the D90 above the D5100.

If your only interested in photos, then the D90 is still a great camera. If your interested in Video as well, then the newer D5100 or D3100 are better options. If you can pickup a used or referb D90, it is still worthwhile.

I couldn't agree more with Jgstew's answer. Personally, I recently purchased a D5100 and have been very satisfied with it so far. The only issue I ran into with the 5100 so far has been it's lack of autofocus support for "D" series lenses. This would not have been an issue had I picked up the D90 or D7000.
