    What does everyone think Will DX survive or be phased out. Will we be left with FX and Nikon One format. I have read theories that a larger format will be introduced.

    And Alienate all previous DX users and their DX lens collections? Will never happen!

    DX lenses still can be used on an FX sensor in crop mode. If there's no price premium to move to FX, why would an entusiast not want to move.

    Go ask D300s users if they are ok with it...you might be shocked by their answer.

    Now, If Nikon can make crop mode on a FX camera work exactly as it does on a DX camera, this might be moot. As I understand it, the D800 viewfinder does some funky things in crop mode.

    Already beaten to death.

    There are 100's of reasons why DX will never go away or at least, be around for another 10years or more.

    Stranger things have happened (ask Betamax / Philips Laserdisk / Kodak instant or disc camera owners). Now I know those examples are not directly comparable, as most if not all were not with the manufacturers blessing, but history shows that companies are not afraid of dropping something that they have invested heavily in, and which has a strong following, if they see the future heading in another direction. DX certainly has some advantages over FX, but I suspect that if they could be reproduced in an FX body which was the same price as the DX, I think it's following would dry up pretty quickly. Obviously we are not there yet, but who knows what the future holds?

    Just my opinion.
