Dave - I hate waiting. Also I'm not really an early adopter. I like to see/hear how new gear pans-out before I spend my loot. I live on a farm and everything costs five grand - even a loaf of bread!
Greg - I would probably go for the 'standard' D800 and I agree with you on Canon's NR.
Also, since the F100, I've found Nikon's ergonomics more intuitive and comfortable than Canon's.
I no longer shoot huge numbers of frames with massive telephotos - my main reason for sticking with the big 'C' - and appreciate Nikon's all crosshair at all apertures AF.
Not to mention access to all that quality MF glass. Something that really appeals to me.

But, it's not a done deal and so perhaps I will wait a little.

If only someone could 'digitise' my F1n's - bliss!
