Apparently the Nikon D3X has been released. Though nothing official from Nikon.

Michael Riechmann says the D3X will be announced on Monday.

Bummer, 8 grand. It sort of makes me happy that I don't have to worry about how to get one now.

Great sample nature pics from the camera:

How do you guys feel this compares to Canon?

The price strategy is peculiar. Like Mark, I won't be trading up to this baby. If anything, a switch over to the 5D II would make much more sense. Or waiting until a D700 replacement hits the market.

I can't fathom how this is worth $5,000 more than a 5D II....

I have to agree with Rick Dunn on this one.

I'm a long time Nikon shooter and was at first excited on hearing about the D3X...until I started comparison shopping and amid reading reviews started researching the 5D Mark II....which I am now considering buying for at least the studio work I do and possibly the start of switching to Canon exclusively.

I've had the 5DII for several weeks and I think the movie mode is significant.
The FF Sony would be a good studio camera, but less adaptable to Nikon lenses.
I really like the direction Nikon has taken with its new glass. I use the 14-24 on my Canons.
