I'm hoping it'll have a new one not yet on the market after all the time since then, especially if they plan to give it a mid-life tart-up like D800 to D810. It'll be out of date when it hit the market and then the A7rIII will come out with some of the A9 tech and eat it for breakfast.
Sensor tech hasn't been marching forward very quickly for quite some time. It remains the #1 sensor by DXO's estimate, and the D800E is sitting at 5th place, announced 5 years ago. DXO might not be the end-all be-all, but it can at least give you a rough idea of sensor performance.
So assuming you at least agree that DXO's sensor scores aren't complete trash, you have to come to the realization that sensors, while still advancing, are advancing much more slowly under today's technology paradigm then they were 10 years ago. Given this, until some new sensor tech is out, I'd rather they save money by using an existing FF sensor, and put their focus on features like focus peaking, FF readout for video, video AF, etc.

If you recall the D3 --> D3s, there was quite a significant improvement from that revision. That being said, I also believe they will have something all-new. They will most likely contract something exclusive from Sony a la D500.
I'm more interested in their "range of new technologies"...hopefully at least a few of them are actually new and impressive.
Agree wholeheartedly with that last line.
