Not worth it because it is a Canon. 
Sounds like a really good camera for an amazing price. I love my Nikon stuff too much though.

my 5D took a dump on my last trip, got tons of canon glass. really thinking hard about this body
If I had an extra $6800 to drop on a camera, this would be on my list.
GFF, you really want a camera body that large?
I love my D300 but I'm not sure I'll ever want the pro-style body with the integrated grip. The D300 is already pretty bulky.
For some circumstances it works, especially if you have big glass attached, but then there's a whole range of times where it's a lot less convenient. And frankly, sometimes it just looks too big. Just a thought - if you've handled a pro body before (and I don't mean a hooker), disregard this.
As H8R said, looks nice. Doesn't look earth shattering unless those high ISO values are substantially cleaner than current technology.

I'd have to agree with BV, unless I was primarily a spectator or taking pics to make money, I think I prefer a non-gripped camera. Although significantly more comfortable and convenient, a gripped body can be cumbersome and unweildy during activity. Just went through this dilemma last week when at the camera store trying on chest packs, and validated it this past weekend when doing some strenuous hike/rock climbing.
These double grip cameras are too big/bulkly for me to take them most places I go... unless photography is the primary purpose of the trip. Looks like a very nice machine however. Going to be tough to bump into the limitations of this camera imo... so many good bodies out there atm.
and here i posted this in the correct forum....
i have been using gripped bodies for so long it feels strange to not use one...at last year's Scion Rock fest i went gripless to save some space, but didn't like it at all.
i can definitely see myself buying this camera (hope my car's got a few more years left to it...145K and counting). the 14 fps (http://www.flickr.com/photos/89313874@N00/6256207783) sounds like a machine gun, but i've never had a body w/ more than 5 fps so i am not sure what it's like.
i do like that they kept resolution to a meaningful level...i've had to buy so many HDs for the ~25MB raw files my camera spits out (5D2), it's nice to see some restraint here.

dual processor, 9 exposures in 1, 204,800 iso, carbon fiber blades, amazing lcd 
hopefully some of this trickles down to their non-pro cams somewhat soon

It's going to be an expensive spring.
I am used to a full grip with my MKII's I might as well stay with it. besides I usually use my 28-300 for almost everything.
"Worth it" seems like such a loaded question when you're talking about the best/most expensive/newest thing to come out... It's like saying "Bugatti Veyron, $1.6m. Worth it?"
maybe not "earth shattering" but theres plenty of great features in the cam that pros will love....basically everything i mentioned above. oh and 12/14 fps
I just filled the cup!
I have also been using dual grip pro bodies forever. Even my D700 backup has the grip as I can't take one photo without it, feels way too weird.
I have been thinking of switching back to Canon after 9 years off and this might just put me over the edge. Hmmm.
my pre-order has been placed w/ Adorama
did they give a date?
