Nikons new flagship... D3X

Nikon has officially announced the D3X. The camera is nearly identical to the D3, in form and function. The main difference is the D3X's new 24.5 megapixel sensor, that doubles the amount of pixels in the D3. This is probably good news to some people, but in reality...its not really that appealing to most consumers. Huge file sizes, probably more noise than the D3 in high ISO images due to the pixel density are probably the only downfalls of the new sensor. Oh yeah, lets not forget about the price of the new camera. The D3X comes in at a whopping $8000! The D3 was only $5000 at its release and has dropped to the mid 4k range. And not only that the sub $3000 Nikon D700 has almost taken away any reason to buy a D3. And if you really really really need 25 megapixels and a pro body you could get the $3000 Sony Alpha A900 which probably has the same sensor as the Nikon. I think Nikon has missed the mark with this one.
