I have a pro friend who was shooting Nikon. I believe with a D3 and 700D. He recently got rid of the D3 and bought the new full-frame Sigma and the Zeiss Planar lenses that are available for it. He says it's the same sensor as the D3X. And he wanted the in-body shake reduction. I fondled one of those Zeiss lenses -- a 135/1.8. Beautiful. And a metal hood. Gadzooks. I've read that the lenses are not actually made by Zeiss. But they sure look good.

Sounds really, really nice. But for what I shoot I don't need the
resolution.

The low light performance is what drew me to the D700 (Lo-1 = ISO 100,
Hi-2 = ISO 25600) & I'm more than satisfied with the IQ.
Thom Hogan has posted an interesting commentary about this camera here: http://www.bythom.com/nikond3xcomments.htm He's quite critical of Nikon's launch and marketing strategy, and i think he makes some excellent points.

Very perceptive article. Michael Reichmann of Luminous Landscape is similarly underwhelmed.
