Yep, marketing and the drool affect can hook the best of us. I have to say the full frame sensor has been a real treat in one area I had not been thinking of.... seeing your subject, . Yes the 1.5 crop does the job, but full frame makes a huge diffrence when you need to see details through the viewfinder for good composition. For the older shooter who has less than perfect vision the D3 is a breath of fresh air. When it comes to MP's Im still satisfied with the 4mps from my D2H. The D3 @12mp's is perfect. Let the next D3? be more for the shooters that require more. I think most PJ/Sports Shooters are perfectly fine with the current resolution. I hope we are close to that brick wall I think we are darn close, unless DSLR's move into a whole new format? 24-26mp's should be it when you consider how most images are viewed by the human eye. Then there are the limitations of the lenses. I would love to hear from someone who knows more about this. Im just taking a wild guess here. I think Nikon has done a good job. We've bitched and moaned about the time factor of when they produce things but, now I see why. Their right where they need to be. The D?00, D3X and a new lens line up makes sense for the FX direction. The DX sensor will fade into higher end prosumer cameras at a significantly reduced cost, not today or tommorrow but down the road. The full frame is where Nikon will be putting its coin. Visually it makes more sense even if you have good eyes. This has already been confirmed with the new 14-24 and 24-70. I think we will be seeing a whole new wave of full frame lenses, with new AFS and VR options. The digital image maker is here to stay. The coin investment will follow and it will not be putting more coin into the DX format for professionals. Just my early am 2 cents,
