I have no intention of getting one but thought I would check it out anyway. Two previews - not production cameras though.

Looks pretty impressive, no image samples found yet, but I guess from Nikons viewpoint this will appeal to a wider market and so will sell in far greater numbers than the D3. If image quality of the D3 at high ISO made that a 'must buy' deal, then although you may miss a few things from the D3, even gain odd things not on the D3, that same high ISO appeal will still be there and so for non D3 owners it offers an awful lot, for an awful lot less £$.
So I can well see the reasoning.
Just had a chuckle at this thread started at the end of March 07.

Will the D2X replacement be announced at Photokina in September, given that the X was announced there in 2004 ?
