Uhhh….it’s not made for low light nor speed. That’s the point of it not overriding the D3 completely, purpose.

Some people prefer not to use it all the time? That answer your question?

To say that the ISO …
To say that the ISO range on the D3x is a joke is an ignorant statement. The D3x is a high resolution studio camera used under controlled studio lighting conditions not unlike medium format but also it’s an amazing landscape camera. The D3x will resolve fine detail far beyond the capabilities of the D3. 100% crops from the D3x raw image files are truly amazing. However, the noise level between the D3 and the D3x in practical terms, is much closer than you may realize.

What do you expect …
What do you expect from smaller pixels? The D3x has twice as many pixels on the same sensor area than the D3 and D700. Of course the noise level is going to be higher. Also, if you really need low noise, then go for a 6 megapixel Nikon D70. Not only it has large pixels, but it also has a CCD sensor, which is superior to CMOS when it comes to low noise performance.

The ISO range of …
The ISO range of 100-1600 is a joke for this type of camera costing nearly 5000 GBP. Nikon D3x is not worth that price !!!

I decided to buy Nikon D700 and I am 100% happy with that body. Low light performance is amazing.

Leica S2? Are you …
Leica S2? Are you serious? Leica is lucky to still be on the planet and is surviving on their name. Their cameras don’t offer the professional photographer the same robust features that can be had with a D3, D3x, D700, !dsIII, 5D2, etc..
Leica simply looks pretty.

You are correct the $10,000 was something I read very early and looks to be incorrect.

Hello NIKON I have …
Hello NIKON I have been shooting your flag ship SLR since 1974 F2,F3,F4,F5,D1,D1x,D2X and D3. You owe me a camera that I can afford or at least an upgrade on my D3 which looks exactly like the D3x. This is a camera that can win back the nikon users you lost to Canon and even some of their users. Then you sell more lenses and flashes. Try not to be soooo greedy, the sensor is a CMOS not a CCD.
At $8000 one might as well jump to $10,000 and own the Leica S2.

why in the is …
why in the is there all that “loud” background noise in the background. Very distracting and frankly stupid.

Now to the $8000.00 nikon. Keep it Nikon I am ashamed of you. I wish I was a canon shooter.

first things first, …
first things first, the D3x is put against the EOS 1Ds…the A900/5D is in a different place altogether.

secondly, competition is good..it gets us newer/better equipment so i don’t see any harm in that..

lastly, do check up the ACTUAL accounts and commercial reports (not speculation/rumors) on Nikon’s performance in the past years..nothing short of excellent!

EOS numbers are doing well too but i can’t say anything for Sony coz i’ve yet to see any solid figures which show their current state.

It’s just my opinion, after a tested the A900 for myself and saw the quality it delivers. That’s what counts. If you’re happy with it and your clients like it – good for you.

And who’s changing systems all the time? Pros? Or just amateurs and enthusiasts? Pros change very unlikely as they usually have more then just one body, more then 3 lenses and generally the whole equipement is worth way more then just the 8k for a single D3x body.

Thats a pretty big statement that the A900 is total garbage, but the Nikon is gold. I’ve never heard anyone claim that the A900 is a crappy body…LOL.. People change systems all the time and actually Sony has the easiest to use interface that is the most intuitive. You keep talking of the D700X, that isn’t even an announced product..

you can get the A900 and even 10 Zeiss lenses, but the quiality these lenses give you will be wasted by the crappy body. what you don’t count in is the change in the workflow as you strat to use a different system. that also consumes time, and is just a PITA. it’s just not practicable for these whom the D3x is aimed at. all the rest will wait for the d700x. this camera HAS to come if Nikon wants to compete the A900 and 5D. as simple as that :)
