Yes and no! In many ways, the D800 is the successor to the D3X and it does not make the D700 irrelevant or obsolete. A D600 might. It fits just to show how quick Fuji is on their feet in comparison to Nikon, but if you want to nitpick........!![[Image: dry.gif]](https://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Now, instead of trying to find errors in my input, what about giving us your opinion of the new camera?? That would be relevant.![[Image: tongue.gif]](https://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

The D800 is just a D700 follow up. Similar body style, size. Similar AF system. Similar weather sealing. Similar everything except progress in video functionality and sensor resolution.
The D3X is a big pro body DSLR with built in grip, and has no successor (the concept did not make too much sense). The D3s has a successor in the D4.
I do not see Fuji being quick on their feet at all. It has been ages since the S5 DSLR. Now finally a 2nd body in this new APS-C EVIL range.
Meanwhile, Nikon has introduced the 1 series (not that I do like the concept of those), new D4, new D800, relatively new D7000 (which does just about everything the D300s did, but with a better sensor), new models in the 5XXX and 3XXX series, and quite a lot new lenses including a redesigned 85mm f1.8 and a 28mm f1.8. And they are working on other DSLRs.
Claiming that Fuji is quick on their feet compared to Nikon is a bit odd, in my view (seeing the huge amount of products Nikon has introduced this last year). Claiming that conceptually the Nikon-1 series is not too impressive, that will make more sense.
The full frame Nikons have nothing in common with an APS-C EVIL though. Would be a bit more understandable if one were to say that Fuji shows an interesting line up compared to for instance the Canon EOS M.
