Potential Nikon D3x buyers beware - D700x is already in prototype! Compared
to the D3x, it's a no-brainer as to which is best. D700x has the same
sensor,
same AF, marginally less VF coverage, slightly slower shooting rate (4.5
fps
/6 fps in DX mode), smaller/lighter body (till you add the D700's
battpack),
same lowlight performance (like the D3x, iq is no good above 1600 ISO - if
you need high speed, D3/D700 is the way to go), slightly slower bootup
time,
almost the same lens compatibility - and an extra $4000+ in your pocket.

D3x can never sell in this economic climate, so I recommend Nikon roll out
the D700x now. That will probably mean the end of Canon DSLRs forever.
Their
**** latest version of the 5D was inferior to the D700, let alone the
D700x.
I am sick of seeing all those cream lenses at sporting events. Nikon always
had them beat lens-wise. The last good Canon camera was the A-1, and even
it wasn't reliable if the air got damp. Nikon, OTOH, have produced a superb
range of cameras, what is it now - all winners or best-in-class: S3, SP, F,
F2, F2A, F2AS, F2B, FTN, FM, F3, FG, FA, F4, F5, F6 (kinda), D3, D700.
