Some brightsparks over at DPR (I know, I know...) may have stumbled across something in the new D3 firmware update that hints at what the D3x may look like (24.4 MP).
I HATE these 'when is the new 5D Mod 8 coming' BS, but this may be the first to have something resembling some merit.
The short - version: The new D3 firmware (logically) APPEARS to have a common base to be shared with the forthcoming D3x. Peaking into this code indicates (assuming it's not a hoax) that a 24.4MP beastie is forthcoming. IIRC is this not the same res as the perpetually delayed Sony A900?
