John I think You are so right about Nikon trying to rip-off loyal Nikon people ,who have supported Nikon for years, With this rediculous price on the Nikon D3x , which is virtually the same camera as the Nikon D3, now selling for $4200 from B&H Photo

The Nikon D3x is way over-priced, you can buy the Canon D5 with 21 mg for just $ 2600, why is Nikon D3x $8000 ? The Nikon D3 has everything the D3x has, and Nikon comes out with the Nikon D700 , which has more features than the D3 for less money, now only $2500 from B&h Photo. If you think that their 24.5 mg chip is worth $3500 more than the D700, you should see a doctor. Also Sony Has the A900 with 24.6 mega pixels, for just $2100, which I think is the same chip that Nikon is using in the D3X D3x should sell for no more than $5900john

Hey [NR] — where did you get that fancy wallpaper with the engineering drawings of the D3X? It’d make a great wallpaper! Thanks.

I don’t think the “MF format” is valid either.
For me it is JUST an Excuse, a MARKETING move.

For many reasons Most ALREADY “MF-FORMAT PROs” won’t buy this camera.
(I posted them in the other thread, so won’t repeat here)

Few of them may need it.
Some other customers, that today are Not MF-Pros will buy it, and maybe get benefit and profit from it, at a Very expensive cost.
But Good if they get High revenue too.

Absolutely true. I have been to many, many events either in the US or Europe that are worth shooting, where the ‘amateurs’ had far better gear than the ‘Pro’s’. Seen that many times over and over again. Difference is… I’m a pro, I get better access, even if you have a better body or lens

Hi!
Do you have this opening photo (black D3x’s diagrams) in Hi-rez?

I agree with most of what you are saying. But, the problem is, Canon has nearly the 24mp resolution in the 5D Mark II. And that camera is a very scary bit of competition to Nikon right now. I really thought Nikon was on a tear with the D300 and D3 last year and the D700 this year; but now it doesn’t look very good. At all. Nikon needs to get their act together. I have faith that they will.

I predict that some people will throw a tantrum and threaten to buy a Canon DSLR, before realising that they too charge more than we would like for their products. There is no sense in calling Nikon stupid and then ranting about switching brands because a new camera is out of our price range at launch.

See, this camera fits a particular segment of the market – namely pro photographers who “need” the higher MP count and would look elsewhere for their needs if Nikon didn’t provide it. They have the money. They WILL buy it. For the rest, they will just have to wait a short while until that resolution makes its way into more ‘affortable’ cameras.

Nikon have been around a long time in a competitive market, and dare I say it, look stronger at this point than anyone else. You don’t achieve that by making very many stupid decisions.

That would only happen if there were no players with a big red c on their chest.
Nikons not the only one in this league!

I will go the D800/900 body – whatever 24.5mp replaces the D700.
