    I am laughing my ass off as we speak...especially at the coolpix rants. I have a D300 and am a fanboy of their SLR lineup, but nikon has yet to produce a point and shoot anywhere near the quality/speed of the elph or powershot series.

    A better comparison would be Nikon's D700 which has the same sensor and is going for as little as $1500 on the internet. I don't know if I would do business with anybody on the internet selling $3000 cameras for $1500 but there it is.

    There's also a World of Warcraft: Paladin one as well. In fact, I think there's like 100 different paradise using this same movie footage. Then again, I can't watch this at work, so I'm only assuming it's all the same Hitler footage.

    They're obviously not going after serious photographers by making this hot-shoe mountable. I take a lot of photos with an off camera flash, but I'd have to take this thing off if I wanted to do some walk-around photos with my SB-600 or SB-800.


    That's a deal-breaker in my book.


    Too bad Nikon doesn't offer Bluetooth connectivity in their newer cameras. Now THAT would be killer.

    Hotshoe mounted? WTF?


    So I guess users are relegated to using the on camera flash or using the IR trigger on an off camera flash. Frankly this wasn't very well thought out.

    I am surprised it doesn't have live view, though I don't think there's any problem if it's lacking it. Looks like a great camera though.

    Looks to be a good studio camera, pro-AF, good base ISO (100/50), high-MP count.


    I'm sure many people will say the D3 is better because its high-ISO performance, low-noise in low-light, etc but those people are missing the point.


    Good pro equipment does what its designed to do extremely well. Both the D3 and D3x do their respective duties excellently.

    @Scaramanga: well said... too many people bash one product model versus another based on feature set alone. The seem to forget that various models are designed to appeal to certain duty requirements and applications.


    Some people bash my D70, versus other models, but in the price range (when purchased) it had the feature set that covered the range of needs I had at the time. It's been an outstanding camera that still serves me well.


    The D3 and D3x are way beyond my range, but both look to be amazing cameras.

    @CafeRacer1200: While it may fit, you would lose a great deal of the DSLR feature set including auto focus, auto ISO, metering, and countless others. Not a deal breaker, probably, but certainly diminishing the gadgety-ness of the D3x in the process.

    In reply to Nikon D3x 24MP DSLR Rumors Solidify Around Dec. 1
    OK, if your number one concern is "best image quality"--and, frankly, why should your number one concern be anything else?--here's how it is likely to break down:


    Ultra-Clean High ISO Images:

    D3 and D700 (both full-frame 12MP)


    Clean High ISO Images:

    D300 (smaller sensor 12MP) and D3X (full-frame 24MP)


    All other considerations are, to my mind, secondary.

    @bosskev: Well, consider the fancy-pants noise eliminating Gremlins Nikon has been using lately; I think the D3x should have the same, if not better, clean High-ISO shots as the D3 (even though they are doubling the megapixelage on the sensor)

    @bosskev: I agree. Their P6000 pro point-and-shoot was noisy as balls when it went to 15MP. I would've preferred a G10 rival at say 6MP that was ultra-clean.
