nikon d3x

twice as expensive as the d3

twice as big sensor - 24.5 MP
(same as one in sony a900, except 'they say' lower noise at high ISO, and its 16bit)

image files can be 120+MB when processed


if you had £5500.00, would you buy the nikon body?

lol why on earth would people buy a 24.5 mpixel camera? I mean sure its all amazing and all that but unless you want to print HUGE billboards you dont really need that much. If I have that much money I'd probably buy either the D3 or EOS 5D mk2 or EOS 1D Mk3 and save the rest for a car

For those who are really obsessed with huge amount of pixels there are also those medium format digital backs; I saw some camera nerd posting this link in thephotoforum awhile ago:

EDIT: OMG and I actually voted for once I am so proud of myself now

It's like the D40, And the D40X.
The D40X is the newer version of the D40.

If I had that money though, I would go for a Mark-III.

Oh pfft this is just annoying.
I think those of you who voted should at least tell us why you voted yes or no instead of just anonymously voting and leave everyone else wonder why there are so many votes for one particular choice.
It's like the photography contest all over again I mean yes I may have won but ffs nobody ever said anything about my photo they voted for Numbers are just boring and dont really mean anything to me it's really the criticism and reason behind those votes that I want to hear and read so I will be able to improve myself and post better stuff in the future.

Well, I'm working to become a Professional Commercial Photographer when I'm older.
I only know a few Commercial photographers, but the one I talk to a lot uses a $31,000 camera.
I believe it's like 32MP.

what are u gonna do with 32mp?

I think it would be totally awesome to print a poster of yourself, LOL.

Well, you don't make $250,000/year using a camera that isn't the best in the world.
