Sony cant compete …
Sony cant compete in this arena, this is Nikon-Canon boxing area!
The lens is …
The lens is unmistakably the Nikkor 14-24 f/2.8.. doesn’t take filters because of that bulbous front element, but is one heck of a capable and crisp lens. Most primes can’t touch it.
what kind of lens …
what kind of lens is on that?
The D3 and the D3x …
The D3 and the D3x are totally different cameras aimed at different end users. The D3 for sports, action and all sorts of shooting, while the D3x is a more highly concentrated camera aimed to steal the hearts of medium format shooters.
I must have been …
I must have been thinking of the D3.I’ve seen the D3X as low as $6.500 for the body. “Low as” ? LMAO ! I’ll keep my F3-HP.
5 and a half grand …
5 and a half grand in his currency. In america it is $8,000.
Nah, it’s only …
Nah, it’s only $5,000+

Indeed sony still has noice issues but I’ll wait with upgrading to FF when they’ll release the A900 follow-up.
No dont!
sony sucks …
No dont!

Nice can, …
Nice can, rediculous price!
I’ll go for the Sony A950
all i need is this …
all i need is this and a Leica M9 and i will be fine
you hit the nail …
you hit the nail right on the head.
Even though I’m not …
Even though I’m not a professional and own a D90 with a number of lenses I’d still rather have a D3 than a D3x even disregarding price. From everything I’ve seen the D3’s iso capabilities are unbelievable and it’s as though most people have been tricked into forgetting how big 12mp actually is. If you need billboard size files just get a medium format as you are probably working for a studio anyway.
When Nikon unveiled …
When Nikon unveiled the D3x with its bank-breaking US$7,999 price tag, the question on everyone’s lips was…?
I was in shock when …
I was in shock when it said 8 grand for this camera i go for the 1000 SJ Nikon great deal 425.
True, I’d say 12mp …
True, I’d say 12mp is really as much as you’ll ever need realistically, unless you’re shooting for billboards etc.., I think I’ll keep the 50D for the sports and wildlife, but get the 5D ii for portraits and landscape… 7D would be nice though, but justifying the cost is pretty difficult, when isnt a massivly difference from the 50D and I have an HD video camera already so the 7D’s video isn’t for me.
if you shoot sports …
if you shoot sports etc the 5d mkII probably isn’t for u… wait for the 7d higher frame rate etc 8fps instead of the mkII’s 4fps should be a fanstastic camera. Resolution isn’t as big a deal as people make out like…
I got a 50D at the …
I got a 50D at the moment, but I am budgeting for a 5D mk2… The 50D is great at low ISO and up to around 1000 but after that you need to do a lot of post to get usable images. I shoot fair bit of sports and wildlife (birds) so its a great camera for that.
XD yeah the D3 …
XD yeah the D3 kicks lol. What Canon you shooting with?
It has no right to …
Shooting (raw) at 12800 on my canon the noise is terrible. A bit of noise reduction in Digital Photo Professional clears away a fair bit but leaves the image very soft and not much use for anything other than personal use.
It has no right to be so damned good!
lol yeah the D3 is …
lol yeah the D3 is bad enough… at 14-bit compressed NEF i’m getting like 400 frames per 8gb card. Fantastic camera though…
I was shooting at …
I was shooting at 25600 earlier today… crazy how good it is. I mean it is very noisy but acceptable in many cases(example: news paper publish) seems more like equivilant 6400 ISO on any other camera lol.
14-24mm f2.8 and …
14-24mm f2.8 and it’s almost twice the price of the D90 lol. and also… it wouldn’t really be worth getting for the D90 because it’s a full frame lens… The D90 isn’t a full frame camera… you’d be missing out on the full potential of the lens. However the D90 is fantastic and well done for buying it! Look for wide angle DX lenses for it though.
