Today Nikon officially announced the long rumored D3X. The 24.5 megapixel beast truly does not lay out much surprise for what, at least I thought, would offer. With a price tag tallying in at $7,999 you would think Nikon would throw us a little bit of a mind boggling surprise. The D3X, which happens to be nearly the same camera as the D3, with the exception of the megapixel difference (the D3 being 12.1 and the D3X being 24.5, for those who didn't know) seems to be priced extremely high for what you get considering you can pick up a Canon 5D Mark II (when you can actually get your hands on one) for $2,699 and get a the same features only on a smaller body and with HD video for much less! Come on Nikon. I am little disappointed. Nikon seemed to be very proud of the image quality of this camera and from all my readings thus far, it looks like the 5D Mark II is going to come out on top. Yeah, Canons ergonomics are poor in comparison, but I haven't had too much complaints on the 5D or any of the 1d bodies. We'll see what happens next...
In other news, I just got back from a relaxing Thanksgiving break. I finally got to visit with family and eat some really good food! I am currently working on new branding and brainstorming a lot of new ideas and innovations for 2009! It is definitely sneaking up on me. I hope to post a lot of new work in the next couple days and I have some really amazing shoots coming up that will have some awesome behind the scenes video footage and photos!
