This looks like a fabulous camera, no doubt. If someone wanted to give me one, I'd happily take it. But personally, I think I'm sticking with the DX sensor, because of the 1.5X magnification factor. Also, not for nothing, the price. I know that the FX is a better, sharper, more wonderful sensor, but I'm waiting for Nikon to come out with an update to the D300. What the hell is taking them so long?

The specs on this new camera are very interesting...I was somewhat surprised by the 36 megapixels, those raw files are going to be huge, but all in all it looks like a fun camera.
