MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY! 8 grand, and not even a sensor cleaner. I'm not sure Nikon's strategy with the D3x, but it look like I won't be replacing my body until they get real. I know I should be over this, but it still chaps me
Street price for the D3X is gradually lowering. B&H sell for $7499 vs $7999 for example.
I shoot with the D3X and I heard and continue to hear all the bleating on about the price but I think you need to consider the capabilities of the camera and the Canon alternative. I confess that I've NEVER heard the same level of complaint from 1DsIII buyers and it still retails at only just under $7k after being on the market for two years.
Btw, I've had mine since January and the image quality is simply superb for this line of work. The biggest challenge is good glass and space on my hard drive.
