I hope so. A serious contender if it is lighter by a lot. I may just sacrifice my Leica kit...Interestingly, it's the same size as the D700 but considerably lighter.

Question is whether enough people care to pay the extra. The DR of the D7000 sensor which this is based on is already said to be better than MFDB's. I wonder whether the tonal graduations and look alone will be enough to pursuade people to pay such a huge difference in price and for such a huge degredation in useability anymore?Not unless they make the 12 bit D-800 into a 16 bit camera and increase the film-gate by 2X ... the 16 bit, 40 meg MFDs will still produce tonal gradations, dynamic range and resolution-to-size ratio that 35mm DSLRs can't get to.

That's because Nikon is not removing the AA as per say, they are cancelling the effect of stage 1 by using a different filter in stage 2 of a 2 stages optical system. Scroll down on this link to get a nice diagram of it:Yea pretty funny you pay more for ripping out a part of the camera. Lol
Hi MarcHmm, I'd bet that Sony will deliver what we want in a FF sensor Alpha Jono ... then we get to keep using those delicious Zeiss optics rather than do a systems swap ... again.
Patience my friend, patience.

Jono and I (amongst others) became very used to dealing with colour artifacts and such like when we both owned the now forgotten Kodak 14n cameras some years back"With the D800E, moiré and false color may be noticeable when there are repetitive and fine patterns on a subject such as kimono fabric. To avoid this, it is necessary to take measures, for example, changing the focusing point or shooting distance."

How do you guys feel about this? I know those who shoot medium format will probably have more experience about this, but since this is a Nikon product, I felt safer to post my related question here.
What is the advise for the landscape shooter who also shoots fashion with fabric and architecture? How to you shoot to avoid moiré and false colors?
Actually a great supplement to the 1 SystemLooks like a good product for Nikon shooters. More than makes up for the 1 series.
Or get an S2 to Nikon adapter for your Leica lenses...Actually a great supplement to the 1 System
Specs actually say 14-bit D/A converter, 16-bit processing. Perhaps you misread the 12 channels as bit depth.Not unless they make the 12 bit D-800 into a 16 bit camera and increase the film-gate by 2X ... the 16 bit, 40 meg MFDs will still produce tonal gradations, dynamic range and resolution-to-size ratio that 35mm DSLRs can't get to.
