The Nikon D6 also costs $6,500. The cost of having the top of the line (ie. most expensive) of a particular brand these days.

Is it a Leica or a Sony? Those are Leica prices.

It's a pro camera meant for the pro-market. It's a winner.
Canon will step up... no worries there.
Nikon? Bad news for Nikon.

Reletively less units will be made, hence a higher price.

Specs only go so far. How will it perform in the real world is what will be the test.

If you don't buy it & the Experia(or what ever the phone is called) you won't be able to take great pictures any more! But seriously , you go out & buy that & next year or 6 months from now, something more powerful will be released. Sports, action &, wildlife They always look good on the spec sheet, We will see when the consumer versions are on the shelf & the reviewer's do their thing. Hopefully, it will do what they claim.

Hope it's not priced beyond reach.

They say around $ 6500. Look at what the Nikon D6 & Canon 1D3 or what ever model it is sells for. With better performance, the price is probably justified. Your personal wallet , YMMV.
