p.1 #3 · new nikkor lenses to adapt on the horizon...
The big announcement is apparently not the rumoured MX system, it's the 24.5MP D3x. the leak is pretty solid (Nikon's in-house magazine showed up in Europe early, with the basics of the new body).

I wonder, if the new announcement really is for the D3x and it's 24.5MP sensor, how this may impact Nikon owners who just forked over $5k for the D3 not so long ago. Hopefully this will bring down the price of the D700 and I will be able to get one and learn to live with just 12MP.
It's turning out to be the clash of the titans here - First Canon, then Sony, now Nikon.... everyone'd playing catch-me-if-you-can...... does it stop once we hit the 24MP ceiling or should one be looking forward to a 50MP full frame sensor in 4 years

as this is the alternative board perhaps we can do a comparison between similar lenses available on the 2 bodies...to see which is the best alternative....or perhaps is still has to be a canon body as you can mix and match to get the best of all worlds?
I'll start with the shift options:
nikons new 24 /45 and 85PC's + mirex option mamiya / zoerk pentax or canons 24 / 45 / 90 tse + contax 35, olympus 24 and 35 + mirex and zoerk options...mmm

Don't expect a drop in D700 price for a while, it recently dropped. And Nikon has dropped the D3 price while the D3x is likely to come in at a fair margin over the D3's pricing (although most likely still cheaper than a 1Ds).
And Nikon's in-house mag in Europe spilled the beans early (started showing up on peoples doorsteps on friday, with a monday announcement).

50MP (for 24x36mm format) in 4 years sounds like a good bet to me. 24MP doesn't exhaust the capabilities of the best lenses.
