Nikon D3X $7,999.95

Slightly cheaper than the Leica M9 (by only five cents), the Nikon D3X is Nikon's answer to all things dSLR.  The insane 24.5-megapixel FX-format CMOS sensor alone makes it worth the money, but let's go further.  It has the revered Nikon EXPEED image processor, continuous shooting capabilities at 5 frames per second at full FX-format resolution, 100% viewfinder coverage, aridiculous 51-point AF system, tough alloy construction, two CF card slots and a battery that can take up to 4,400 images on a single charge.  This camera does everything except make banana pancakes on a Sunday morning.  In all honesty, if you are going to throw thousands of dollars at a camera, this is the most reasonable choice.  It does everything a camera needs to do in order to make your life as a photographer as successful as possible.  Just as the Canon Mark III, the Nikon D3X deprives you of a lens.  And just like we did for the Canon, let's build the world's most expensive Nikon: D3X ($7,999.95) + AF-S Nikkor 600mm f/4G ED VR ($10,299.95) = $18299.90. Lucky for you, Nikon uses Nikkor lenses which could easily be called some of the most dependable, professional lenses on the market.  Not all of them run you the cost a down payment on a house either.
