If the price comes down to $2500 in the next few months I'll be switching over to Nikon. Especially since it's cheaper.

^nikon is unfortunately more expensive then Canon. They are both great systems if you have a lot invested in glass it is a real pain in the ass to make the shift. I am in the process of unloading all my Nikon gear for Leica gear good luck!

Lax the price isn't gonna drop 500 dollars in a few months..switching over in this economy usually equals lots of money loss.

I've only recently started trying to take better pictures, criticism is encouraged!

*Edit: I'm also looking to upgrade to a more advanced point and shoot, kinda torn between two, Fuji x10 and Panasonic DMC-LX5, any opinions on either?

Actually considering the price of the D800 and most of Nikons lenses it really isn't. Once the 5DIII is released I doubt canon is going to price it comparatively to the D800 and if they do then I will be damned, but if in fact they don't Nikon will have the better deal going. I frequent these forums with all the rumors and talk and what not and from the camera experts Nikon is supposedly cheaper now. But the one thing keeping me to Canon is my 85!

Your leica cameras are sick btw. I would love to own an M9 one day (another 30 years or so away?). But good luck to you too! I think I'm going to stick with Canon for now (if I do move over to Nikon I'm getting the D800+85 1.4G combo).
