The Canon Mark II D5 attraction over Nikon's current offering is puzzling. What is Nikon stalling for?? The D700 is one awesome camera. The Nikon D3s is simply overpriced. The Nikon D800 SHOULD be able to have the best video capability of any DSLR camera. The video feature is NOW critical. Objections to this feature remind me of the view camera hold outs. I used 8x10 and larger for years. But that was then and this is now. But megapixels alone do not rule. If Nikon puts out a decent D800 with logical updates it could be Nikon's best high tech SELLING camera. I own F5s, D70 through D300....but FF sensors will soon be there, in the right price range. Above $2,700?? Nikon don't wast your time! One of the best DX cameras I have ever used is the D90. Great features, great price! But FX is lagging behind @ Nikon in the high tech AFFORDABLE cameras where the real profits are made. Do you want bragging rights or lots of happy customers? Nikon will get this one right. But a D4 is still just about right for a full time pro making a living on it, or NASA for space shots. Nikon should go were the sales and majority of serious shooters are.

I love the camera and it's still taking great photos after a couple of sensor replacements covered by Nikon. But man, the low light capture is a bummer! Then comes the D3 and D3x where they fixed this issue quite nicely. However, at $7999.00 It's well out of my range and many others. One firmware update is all we ever got. I would recommend sitting out a season when a new model number is released. Wait for the next one if you can afford it. Now the D2X is worth shavings compared to it's purchase price.

Basically I am a Nikon owner but hesitated to buy me a digital Nikon SLR because Canon was ahead and I was waiting for a competetive model. Then I lost my analogue equipment two years ago by robbery and I am free to change the brand. But the story seems to last forever: the offer the D3x for a premium price but still no reasonable camera. I hoped for a D700x at PMA 2009 and now we hear the same rumours again. Maybe this is clever camapaign to stimulate customers' brand loyalty and to prevent Nikonians to swift to Canon or Sony? Sorry to say but all these years make me tired! I will wait for too expensive Canon's DIVs as a benchmark and see if Nikon comes out of the changing room on the playground or not but I do not care anymore about rumours... Hi gents,

As it's half way between the D3x and D3s, one might imagine a nice combination of those two camera's various virtues rolled into one unit. However, I'm inclined to agree with "ossme", as I've read somewhere that Sony might be coming out with a 14.7mp FF sensor camera to replace their A700. Thus, if Sony is still making the Nikon sensors it might follow that the Nikon will be at that point also. 18mp would be great.
