I think they have a lot going for them.

Interestingly.
Nikon has come out with two versions of the same camera.
A full frame version and an APS-C version.

Interestingly I just found this out...:


The Nikon DX format is an image sensor format of approximately 24?16 mm. Its
area is slightly larger than that of the 22x15mm APS-C format, and about 2/3
the size of the 135 film format (measured diagonally). The format was
created by Nikon for its digital SLR cameras, many of which are equipped
with DX-sized sensors.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikon_DX_format

The difference between 24?16 and 22x15 is not that minute.
It took me less than a minute to do the math.
24 * 16 = 384
22 * 15 = 330
330 - 384 = -54
