[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 135722, member: 9240"] I don't think DX will ever go away. I am with Nasim 100% when he talks about Nikon shirking on features that could be easily changed on some cameras to prevent cannibalisation of their other lines. The real question to their future lies in the DX-Pro realm - will Nikon (or Canon) ever stop offering a real pro DX camera (i.e. one that qualifies you for their professional organization)? If the D400 comes out I can't imagine Nikon ever producing another pro DX model after that, for many of the reasons stated (i.e. shooting the jam-packed, and getting more affordable FX cameras in DX). It was that precise logic that made me skip the D7100 and pay for the D800, and I am thrilled I did. I have not invested in DX-specific glass knowing that one day I'd move up, so that helped. DX will always make for a great, affordable entry into the DSLR hobby, and for most people they'll never need more. For the serious amateur and aspiring pro I think it will lose relevancy over time - though you'll always have your diehards. [/QUOTE]
