Thanks Kevin - it's not that I need that right now, and in the full frame world, there are two more choices with 24mpx: the Sony Alpha 850 & 900...

My post was more like... a D700x (or something) with higher resolution (and less high ISO abilities) needs a reasonable price (competitive to the 5D MKII I'd say) or else it will only be attractive to people who already use Nikon.

Thom Hogan suspects a high resolution FX body to be priced somewhere in between the D700 and the D3x - and that would not be reasonable, IMHO... because the 5D MKII has a much better price then...

Just to be clear, IMHO the choice that you can have it all is D3x. 24.5 megapixels, 51 AF, and it's Nikon. You should get it! :)

Oh but you did not say you will never get a Cannon. We will see how many bags you are going to carry then. ;)

Noooo, don't tempt him to use Cannon. Then we will be in different systems.

I think the choice for you is clear. For landscape, 5D#2 hands down. It's also got 1080p. None of Nikon's offerings have 1080p.

If shooting people and at night time, the 51 AF (11 cross point) of D700 plus scene recognition+matrix metering wins hands down.

If you have money for D3x, then you'll get 51 AF plus lots of MP. And if you wait a few months, D700x will come out but it'll be priced between D700 and D3x. Is it worth it? Only if you shoot people + night.

Since you prioritize landscape over people + high ISO, you already know which one fits you better. Go indulge yourself :)
