Paying for the name

the new Nikon D2X and Fuji S3 Pro both appear to be very high quality 12MP+ pro user level cameras. Indeed they share about 85% of common components and for the most part were co developed along with Kodak and Olympus. The Fuji even uses Nikon lenses and other peripherals and in general there is very little to choose between the two.

except the price.

I did a little shopping around and typical prices for the camera bodies are £1334.50 for the Fuji versus a whopping £3059.99 for the Nikon. A 130% mark up is a lot to swallow for a brand name especially when Fuji isnt exactly an unknown in the digital SLR field.
