includes built-in AF motor...
AF module: similar to D7000: MultiCAM 4800 DX. Not sure how many cross types...
RGB sensor: similar to D3x: 2,016-pixel RGB sensor
Image sensor: The FX format res. figures show different resolution than D3x... I guess it's a different sensor (and I hope with better SNR and DR performance)

It looks interesting.
But they dropped AF microadjustment ability when compared to the D800. Don't know if the D7000 has it.

At 750g this should be nice for your Viet Nahm trip Serkan.

Indeed... But I'm not sure about the timing of the availibility.
Concerning the AF module: AF point count is not a deal breaker for me. But the usage of f/8 for the 9 cross types would be quite good.

This is funny. I remember times when people used to say "This photo is a keeper." Nowadays you can buy new shiny cameras at a frequency at which you changed film in those other times. And call your most recent camera a keeper (even before you bought it), because you will continue shooting with it for more than a week. (And if you are lucky, you might shoot a real keeper with it within that week.)
This is not meant to be a personal offense, of course. It was just too funny. :-)
And sorry for posting wrong info about the microadjustment. dpreview have it in their preview, but their previews are often wrong in some spec details.
My only question is how do I convince the wife that I need a backup for my D800?
OK, seriously, it looks like Nikon has a game changer on their hands. Notwithstanding the fact that it doesn't shoot 9fps or have the pro whistles and bells, who would have thought 12 months ago that we could get a 24MP FX for $5,000 less than the D3X?
What I also like is the direction that Nikon (Canon) are heading with tethering to smart phones and the iPad.
The Ethernet connection is not something that I really need, but to be able to control the aperture from say an iPod touch is something I've wanted for a few years.
