New Nikon D3X DSLR is Expensive

This year for Christmas I said I want DSLR camera and should not be more then 1.000 while looking up new DSLR’s found Nikon D3X DSLR which price shocked me! It cost $8.000 I know it has 24MegaPixel but does that really matter for somebody that is pretty much new ? And even professional photografers from many reviews did not like the price a all. Anyways cam is expensive for that money you can get better stuff like for example A900 from Sony cost between $2500 and $3000 I rather spend 3K and buy stuff for A900 worth $5.000

Anyways I am not getting any of those cam’s they cost too much and in about 1 year they will be old and half priced
