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.

I am sure that Nikon will give your advice all the attention that it
deserves. By the way, there are long wait lists for the D3X. Odd, for a
camera that will never sell.


That will probably mean the end of Canon DSLRs forever.

Yeah, just like the 1D meant the end of Nikon forever.

I'm glad I got on the list when I did. You're right about the lists, they
are chin deep now.

There are easier, cheaper ways to find the lice on your mutt.

But none more satisfying. Another 18-months of pure enjoyment.

In other words, you got the thing because you had an itch. That's
one expensive mutt.
