Spencer, it's a good thing you'll be at G3 because I am going to have some questions about how to manage and store these ridiculously large files

In any case, both of my D700 are still working.

I am going to get two D800s.

36MP needs a lot of computer processing power. I will have to upgrade the computer first before I put can them into usage.

For those that don't think it would be a good wedding camera.....

Not to be used the entire wedding day but will be a beast for the portrait session of the day, along with other parts. Very tempted now!

Great point! Now more and more Canon users are going for Nikon gears due to their competitive products like Nikon D3s.

A few weeks ago even Jerry Ghionis claimed to give up Canon and used Nikon D3s for business.

Canon, you are losing your customers and need to do something!!! God damn it!

For the record: 20-30MB jpegs, 76.5MB NEFs (according to DPR anyways).

Also, according to the Nikon site, there is a 1.2x mode shooting at approx. 25MP (still 3:2 natch) and a 15MP DX mode, as well as a 5:4 mode @ 30MP. For whatever all that's worth.

The 800E could produce some really nasty moire patterns in organza dresses and veils.

Yes. After doing some research, D800 gets my vote.

76MB jpgs. Wow that's a lotta 1's n 0's.

They should team up with WD to create some custom bundle deals.

I'm REALLY tempted to try and swap my D3 for one of these, but I'm sure by the time I'd actually be able to get my hands on one I'd loose $500-1000 on it.

The resolution is great and all, but it still blows my mind that you're able to get a brand new Nikon with top-shelf professional autofocus for less than $3k. With the crazy sensor and new video capabilities I would've expected them to price it more at $4,000ish or ditch the pro AF (and they would've sold a ton that way). Even though I don't plan on upgrading cameras for a long time, it gives me warm fuzzies to see that Nikon seems to really put EVERYTHING it's got into a new camera versus Canon's long-standing reputation for avoiding stealing from their upper tier.

Example: The D800 is better in just about every single way than the (still current) $8000 D3x. Can you imagine Canon putting ANYTHING in ANY CAMERA that's better than their 1DX? Even if it's technologically or financially reasonable?

Side note - Canon updated their "entry-level" wide primes today. List prices of around $800. Wow.

Not tempted. I'm waiting for the D700S.
