Nikon is quite up front with their intention actually ... the D3 project manager has said in many Japanese interviews I've read that the reason why they don't call it a D3H is because they have no plan to build a D3x. Their next FF model is bound to be something between the current D3 and D300.

And this is exactly controversial to what I heard back on rumors here in Europe (coming out of Nikon Europe).
These rumors say, that there will be a high resolution version of the D3 coming - so I would consider the D3 a replacement of the D2H and thus the D3 high resolution should come with some 24MP - this would at least be the logic they followed so far with their D2H/D2X line.
