I am giving this camera serious consideration, even though it is "only" a six megapixel camera. I am a Canon 20D user, and have always secretly coveted the ergonomics of Nikon DSLRs. More recently, the Nikon DSLRs seem to be more feature-rich than Canons. However, I've never been impressed with Nikon's image quality. I read somewhere that Nikon made better cameras, but Canon made better sensors, and I think there's a lot of truth in that.
Now there is a better sensor available in what I perceive to be the best Nikon body on the market (the D200)! I am seriously thinking of switching formats for this camera.
I am aware of the "6+6 megapixel" format of the sensor, however information contained in the post below is leading me to believe that real 12mp resolution may actually be possible from this sensor.

What do you think? What do you Fuji S3 users think of the new camera? Am I crazy for thinking about switching away from Canon?
