So you feel that running two systems with a specific group of lenses for each is the preferred option, a bit like having a Land Rover and a Mini. Both have their benefits for particular situations. Makes sense, if you minimise overlap, as you propose.

I suppose I achieve that with the D3 and the D3300 but I also retain lens and accessory compatibility for all my bodies, across the focal length range, interesting.

I still can't see a smaller sensor replacing an FX sensor for all situations. I still see the DX (and similar formats) as a temporary expedient until the manufacturers found a way of making a full frame sensor.

It seems having created the temporary expedient, they can't put the genie back in the bottle because in fact the DX sensor does have some uses and benefits in some situations and some users actually prefer it, if occasionally only on cost grounds.
