    Well, the way I see it, my D300 with battery grip meets or exceeds everything the D2xs had with the exception of the secondary LCD panel on the back and the viewfinder shutter - that was the top-end pro body a year ago... Do I really need to upgrade already? Besides some of those DX lenses are killer (10.5 and the 17-55; sweet!)

    I definitely want to go full-frame, but I think I'll wait a generation or two; no one's complaining about the quality of my work so far (at least from a technical point of view).

    Yes, I am curious as to what the Sony full frame Alpha will be like. If it is well designed, then combined with Zeiss lens, it should be a worthwhile consideration.
