An update on my primary wildlife body poll at Nikonians...

D300/s 35%

D7000 20%

D800/E 18%

D4 12%

D3s 8%

D3/D700 7%

A couple of points: preference for a faster camera (62% at 8 fps or more with grip) seems stronger than preference for DX (55%). However, the top three cameras (73%) offer more reach than the bottom three (27%). So, I think we can conclude that wildlife photographers are looking for reach and speed. Contrary to some of the representations here only 20% have opted for a non-pro camera without 51 point autofocus. Of course this makes perfect sense given the large investment in lenses. Why spend that kind of money and go cheap on the body?
