Thumb Up

Especially the Nikon d3x - the same sensor, but at almost a quarter of the list price?! Amazing. The reports suggest that the high ISO performance isn't any better than the a900 (no surprise), but the ISO 200-800 is super sweet. Also, the built in IS is a really useful little feature.

Almost enough to make me sell my Canon lens collection and get a a850 instead of the 5dmkII I've been getting hot and sweaty about.
