The D800 supposedly will sport 36MP. So if you're after resolution, that might be the way to go.
Alternatively, the Sony A850/900 has the same sensor as the D3x for a lot less dough.
Tokay would you take the chance to buy the nikon D3x or wait for the next génération to come ?????

They stated the same for dates in October, November and December as well. They have to be right eventually

Just a couple of things.
The new D800 and the D4 both are not replacement for the D3x.
The D4 is the replacement for the D3s
And the D800,is more of a camera to take on the Canon 5DmkII,than a direct replacement for the D700.
The D3x replacement not is due till the end of 2012![]()

I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped the d3x either. I wonder though why Nikon feel the need to compete head to head with the canon line up. It wasn't as though the d700 lost out to the 5d ii in terms of sales or market share
reading all the rumours it does seem to lots of people displeasure that the d800 will be a 5d3 competitor not a shrunk d4, like the d700 was to the d3.
going for high mp and lower iso preformance
