Nikon officially announced the D3X after being miss-announced a couple of days ago by Nikon Pro Mag in Europe. 

Well, it’s finally here but, Nikon decided to let it go for $8,000 or $7,999.95 to be exact. ARE YOU KIDDING!? I don’t even think Donald Trump would pay $8k’s for a camera. After all, it’s just a D3 with more resolution and slower frame rate. Pretty much. It even has the same body. You probably need this if you’re a fashion photographer or something like that working for some big company or magazine. And then again, you don’t even need that much resolution to do a magazine shoot which is not bigger than 8×11 INCHES! My point is, I don’t see an average Joe buying this camera just because he’s shooting a couple of weddings next year. Nikon needs to understand this and drop the price because if they do drop the price, more people will buy this. In the mean time, just get a D3 or a D700 if you want Nikon’s best.
