I could handle the software side, but I would definitely want to be able to use my lenses on all the bodies (as a backup, at least). I just hope that someone comes out with a good mirrorless compact that takes Nikon lenses. The Nikon One system is perfect except for the too-tiny sensors.

March 22, but Nikon is expecting a shortage: http://the-digital-picture.com/News/News-Post.aspx?News=2115

I'll be scrambling hither and yon trying to find one in stock.

Me too! I'm planning a computer upgrade soon too, so I don't expect any problems from the increased pixel count. (Going from i7 950 3.0ghz + 24 GB RAM to Xeon E5-1620 3.6ghz, 64 GB RAM, plus upgrading from 8-disk RAID-50 to 24-disk RAID-50 -- keeping the 256 GB SSD)
