The question for Nikon is "why a D4x?". I'm sure they could sell a lot more D800 than D4x (if they had the same sensor). Those who need that much resolution, usually really don't need a D3/D4 sized camera. In fact many prefer a smaller body.

Precisely. Both Nikon and Canon learnt it the hard way, particularly for Nikon since the comparatively well-spec D700 (8 fps with handgrip) with its advance AF sensor and features is highly enticing. That is why you have the D3s, but not D3Xs. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
