New Nikon on the Horizon

I just came across this new notice from B&H Photo, one of my favorite places to browse and purchase camera equipment.  And they have announced the arrival of the stunning new Nikon D800 camera!!  Shoooting a full-frame FX CMOS sensor, packing in 36MP of quality, this camera is a beast.  Possibly my favorite feature is that it will accept either FX (film) or DX (digital-specific) lenses, and adjust the output accordingly (though, in DX mode, it tops out at about 15MP).  That is awesome, as it means Nikon users don't have to go swapping out their lenses (yet again) when they purchase this camera.  It does video as well, which is not as important to me, but still interesting.  Only downside?  The pricetag, which is a whopping $3,000, yet billed as an affordable option against the larger D-line models (with price tags in the $5,000+ range).  Check out the new beauty of the line.  Enjoy.
