The biggest improvements appear to be video capabilities which I have zero interest in. Do the other improvements justify a $6K expenditure? I may just take a pass and keep on shooting with the D3s for a few more years.

I think this baby looks like Nikon has a winner. For me, they have practically melded the D3s and D3x into a single body. Higher resolution than the D3s and much better low light performance than the D3x. I'll take 10 fps any day. OK, it's a bit big, but it's actually smaller and lighter than a gripped D700 full of AAs. My credit cards are scurrying for hiding places. Oh well, B&H won't sell it 'till Feb 16th anyway. Plenty of time to read reviews and sell some family heirlooms.

D3s, D500, D5300, and way more glass than the wife knows about.
I hear you Icebear. Truth is I take 5 shots with the d700 for every 1 I take with the D3.
I would love a D3s but can't justify the cost :cry.
Maybe the prices on those will drop hugely now....hope.

An "accurate" reproduction of a scene and a good photograph are often two different things.
Kinda hard to beat what Nikon already has on the market.

I might feel the same if I already had a D3.
