I was reading something like 8500 dollars for a D4...... Wow. Car, or camera? Which would you buy

...so is the D3S "released" today essentially what people thought was going to be the D700x/"D800"?

i.e., with the release of the D3s, should we still be holding our breath for a D700x/D800, this month at least?
