Nikon d3x no substitute for medium format. I have 2 nikon d3s, they are great dslr, imho the beat the socks of all other dslrs. I purchase a d3x on the strength my d3s. I was disappointed from day. After 18 months i part exchanged it or a hasselblad h3d31ii.
The h3d blow my socks off, the images form the hasselblad are sublime. If you are looking for medium format quality do not kid yourself that the d3x is the answer.
Fantastic camera works like a dream.

Conclusion of Nikon D3X Digital SLR Camera Body Only
As time passes and i learn to shoot to this cameras strengths (contrasty subjects), the more i appreciate the benefits it brings over the d700. For me the range of light captured is wider than that of a d700, thereby drawing out greater detail from shadows, without blowing the highlights. I also noticed an increase in colour depth, which combines beautifully with the increased light range to give rich, deep images. This colour range gives images a subtle beauty, but depending on the subject, these improvements are not always pronounced though, and lens choice can have a far greater impact on image quality. Any d3x successor needs to be smaller and lighter (the d4 isn`t the d3x successor).
Lens choice has become the main dslr drawback for me - there aren`t many 35 and 50mm lenses with high contrast when shot wide open. Leica m lenses apparently have excellent wide open contrast, and are some of the best lenses of any format, so i`ll move to leica m lenses combined with something like a sony nex7, or the m9 replacement if it has liveview. 8 is anything to go by, the m lens image quality will be first class. If you are looking for medium format quality do not kid yourself that the d3x is the answer.
