Too expensive. When you figure in the film processing costs.

maybe true, but the subject was for "less than $1000.00". Besides the
initial start up fees are minimal.

About $8000 for the body only. (Yikes)

24,5 Megapixel in FX-Format
3D Color Matrix II, Center-Weighted and Spot Metering
1 - 7 fps
1/8000 to 30 seconds shutter
ISO equivalency 100 to 1,600
2 lb 11 oz / 1220 g
Price est. $7,995 USD body

Another FX-format camera means that Nikon will jump back with both feet
into the production of full-frame lenses, updating some of the current
ones and introducing new ones.

SW Tom should buy of the new D3X boxes...



I have a friend who would be the one to buy this camera. But he makes his
living as a professional photographer, and lots of his are Corporate annual
reports where they need high quality photos. Most of his pics are stored on
the computer hooked up to the camera and are 200 mbytes or greater. The
rest of us use the $1000 or less Nikon SLR.

Really? Most of the pros I know use larger format cameras for large-page
annual reports and other publications where the highest quality is
required. Hasselblads rule. Nothing wrong with 35mm frame size, of
course, but bigger images are better, quality-wise.

When you charge $3000 a day plus %500 a day for an assistant, plus
expenses, which is what the Left Coast photographer I use charges, you
can afford whatever you want. The woman I hire out there for commercial
photography uses Hasselblad film cameras, as does the architectural
photographer I hire. In fact, for cover shots, he uses a 4x5 film
camera. They shoot transparency film. For Q&D shots, though, they do use
digital Nikons or Canons.
