I have a question re: anti-aliasing filters…
If there are 2 versions, one with AA filter and one without, which would you buy?
For those who choose the one without (which will be more expensive), at what price differential would you say “this is too expensive. Just gimme the one with an AA filter”?

I can’t see that Nikon would put face recognition on a dslr of this level if any!
I would love a faster frame rate though somewhere near 8 or 9 fps.

Yes, video is the “killer-app” that this full frame camera needs, however rumor also has it that this cam is going to be costing in the neighborhood of $4K. At that price, one could purchase a brand new D700 @ $2600 + D7000 @ $1200 and still be ahead of the price of the D800 body alone. Worthwhile considering having nearly the best of both worlds…

Just my opinion, but I don’t ever feel like this is a Nikon biased site at all. Actually I appreciate that the admins have said repeatedly that it doesn’t matter what you shoot with (eg: iphone fashion shoot). I am personally a Nikon shooter but none of my clients would ever know the difference. That being said, I am pretty sure that there is nothing that is going to justify me purchasing the d800 over my existing d700. The minute difference in photo quality that I may or may not see before post won’t be enough….

I will be buying this camera just to talk smack though.

I’m with you Jon. Although I think historically the rev with an MP update gets the X instead of the S.

Release the huge and slow d800 for the renewed megapixel race, then release a more sensible MP count rev of the d700 with 1080p at 60fps. No need for a new chassis design, just rearrange the back plate buttons for more video ergonomics and you’re done. No need to alienate all the people with nikon glass that have been drooling over the canon 5D m2.
