Nikon D700X vs Nikon D3X... A Look At The Advantages And Disadvantages Of Each

Here's what the specs of the Nikon D700X will likely be as compared to what the Nikon D3X specs are.

For me, the D700X holds a number of advantages over the D3X, in the same manner that the Nikon D700 held advantages over the Nikon D3.

I've highlighted what I consider the advantages to be in green and the disadvantages in red.

For others, the green and red might be reversed. Some prefer the larger, heavier Nikon D3X and Nikon D3 style bodies over the lighter, smaller Nikon D700X and Nikon D700 bodies.
