Reactions to the D3x
For early reactions, be sure to check the Nikon forum. The expectation is for an official announcement on Monday. So Nikon has managed to dominate the two biggest shopping days, Black Friday and Cyber Monday :-)

Nikon super-guru Thom Hogan opines on the D3x leaktroduction on his website. There is no direct link to his post, but currently it's the top article at his home page.
