Thanks Mike for keeping us hungry for what is new and exciting.
Just a week later than the promising Canon review above, comes the
definitive Nikon D3x review. Wow,
if anyone can actually afford it, it is hands down the finest, cleanest, most defining, rewarding DSLR ever. By far. Really far. But oh, that price!

In appearance and in many respects it is identical to my Nikon D3, which is one of the best tool investments I ever made. It still makes the cleanest high-ISO photographs ever. The D3x is almost that good, still way better than Canon and Sony, and is otherwise the D3's identical twin
but with twice the resolution and stellar detail. The color is breathtaking in it's vitality, chromatic definition, yet natural fidelity. To me, the nearest Canon and Sony competition are still a degree or two behind the imaging perfection of Nikon's flagship D3x.
But oh, that price of absolute professional imaging perfection! I think I'll continue to appreciate my trusty, almost-that-good D3 for quite a while longer! Yes, for the money, the Canon EOS 5D Mark II above is a pretty good deal too at close to one-third the price of the top Nikon! The Sony A900 is even more affordable in the 24-megapixel class at about one-fourth the price of a Nikon D3x (!), but the color and high-ISO noise tradeoff is not so wonderful by comparison. True perfection evidently has it's price.
