the price aint gonna fly? this will sell like hot cakes. its cheaper than introductory price of the ds line. will appeal to a very large segment of pro photographers. I will bet you that they cant keep enough in stock for the first year.
We\'ll see. It looks like the 1D X is targeted for the sports shooter and at that price point I think people will be just fine (if not happier) with an old 1DIII or 1DIV for much much less.
As for the 1DS market being targeted with this body I think they missed the mark.....I predict the D800 will be an eye opener for all those who think 1DS\'ish specs should cost 7K+
Now, if the announcement had been a midsized 3D body with that same 18MP sensor, 8FPS, 1D\'ish AF for 4K then I think they\'d have a winner because I would buy 2 in a heartbeat and give Canon my 8K...but 7K for that brick with those specs? No way.
personally yeah the 3D you mention above, or better even maybe a 6.3fps but 26MP one with 1D AF, small body, etc. for 4k would be something i might be able to go for (and not only that, actually prefer)
so i think they still have some huge gaps
if the D800 releases to rumor, man that has every spec i think i could want in a body (of course who knows how well it works), i do hate nikon UI and the lenses I am not as fond of either though
