My only question is how do I convince the wife that I need a backup for my D800?
OK, seriously, it looks like Nikon has a game changer on their hands. Notwithstanding the fact that it doesn't shoot 9fps or have the pro whistles and bells, who would have thought 12 months ago that we could get a 24MP FX for $5,000 less than the D3X?
What I also like is the direction that Nikon (Canon) are heading with tethering to smart phones and the iPad.
The Ethernet connection is not something that I really need, but to be able to control the aperture from say an iPod touch is something I've wanted for a few years.
