To prove Eric's point, just look back at some of your D1 prints. I have one that is a 5x6" piece of wallpaper. Could I do better today...sure. Am I still happy with the print? Yup. My dog in this fight is to continue to love and respect the DX sensor. Hey, I LOVE my D3, but I also love my D300s for telephoto shots, for using a relatively light weight DX zoom as a walkaround lens and for the beating it's taken bouncing around on the floor of my car for the last 3 years. (as suits, substitute D200 for D300). I may change my tune if the D800e ever arrives, and take up cropping instead of DX, but some how, i doubt it. So bring on the D400... Tom

Totally agree, only thing that would tempt me to change my current kit against the performance of the latest and greatest would be lighter, smaller, and even then in a lot of circumstances I like the bigger body.

I'm truly thinking that the D400 is lost in space.

Eric- Battery life on xpro is much better (and battery is twice the size  )Xpro is better in every way except no silent shutter or 1/2000th flash and doesn't fit in your pocket. Kind of like d300x vs D3 Both good for what they are designed for LOL

Especially every Nikon body that came before it.. The day I bought my first D700 98% of a D3, perhaps, but what an amazing beast, was the day that my D2x went into the vault to stay !!! And I was in love with that box up until then.. For the work I am doing now, and it isn't much, the D700's more then cover the task, and are still amazing low light Kings... The D2x still could produce wonderful images, but the very limiting ISO range, only realized once I had the D700, was the death of that box!!! Rick reduce your operating pain, get a newer body with the extended High ISo range and watch you images improve on the spot!!! :makemyday:

Today's post on http://www.bythom.com about his take on Nikons new view of DX models is a little disturbing. It seems very short sighted for businesses to not take into account the desires of the consumer. There seems to be several folks on this site who are interested in the D400. Are we that out of the norm?

Especially every Nikon body that came before it.. I can remember the 'relief' ...yes relief... I got when I took the first shots with the D3. For the first time I was able to stop chimping to check the image recorded as I saw it. Thats not to say previous cameras didnt create great pictures, but somehow the D3 relaxed the process. If you needed 2000 ISO there wasnt the nagging doubt it would be noisy. You didnt have to consider lens /camera settings to diminish noise or preplan noise reducing processing....which although successful added more work. The larger pixels gave greater clarity in the images. The whole process of picture making became more relaxed. The D3 just reduced the anxst. Sure the D3S moved the goalposts higher...and the D4 even more. But I said then and I repeat now... "The D3 is as good as it NEEDS to get for 95% of shooters". I havent used a D700. But I am willing to bet the IQ and handling will be close to the D3 but at a lower price. So I fully support Ray's recommendation to just get a D700 and reduce the pain. The only thing a new DX body is guaranteed to bring is 1.5x magnification. Just get yourself a Kenko TC converter and you have it already.

I was of the same opinion as Gary regarding the anticipated announcement of a new DX camera; however, with the extended focusing upgrades for the D4 and D800 series, I started leaning toward a 2X extender with my 200-400 and then a crop. The high image quality of the new cameras influenced me more so than the DX-factor. - EdM
