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.


Guy has not shot film in years. All digital.

I just ordered this for my back up camera
