D3 is not worth it
Where do I start? It's mediocre camera at best in professional world. My Nikon F5 is just as fast and produces perfect quality photos as opposed to D3 as well as being useful in places like Alaska where you can't easy charge your battery on D3. More >>

Disappointing
Paid a lot of money for this camera, and was very disappointed with the noise issue i experienced. On top of that the color was not natural for the subject being captured. More >>
