This body is definitely a purchase I will consider seriously when it is released. At that resolution it gives me plenty of cropping potential so I do not need to carry an APS-C sensor body with me anymore. That it is very usable at ISO6400 is enough for me - one of the beta testers on a Nikon list for pro shooters was mentioning that its low light performance is as good, if not marginally better, than the D3s. The only disadvantage that I can see for my needs is a low fps, but I can live with that.
