It would be great. The picture quality from those big pixels will reveal a real depth and subtlety of tone, and excellent shadow detail. On the other hand the D3 is a heavy beast. Why not get much the same image quality in a smaller camera by getting the new D700? (And for about 1/3rd less money too). Its a beauty -- our video review of it will be up here any day now.

im going travelling for a while and would be interested on your opinions on taking a d3 with me? seems more of a sport photographers thing. how would you rate it for landscapes etc??

hi D3 or D2xs whats different about picture quality ??? thanks
• zibbyuks on 16-Aug-08
The D3 is a quantum leap in picture quality over the D2X. Completely different sensor, and full frame.

nice review.

I'd guess the 5D MkII (or 6D?) would be about the same price, but I'll be staggered if they don't announce it at Photokina in mid-september, so we don't have long to wait.

I got to play with one that my friend owns for an afternoon. Excellent camera. The first D-SLR I've ever tried that I think I'd be as happy with as I am with my old, crappy Minolta 35mm bodies. For my style of shooting, the best of the best in D-SLRs still aren't quite "there" yet compared to film. But, this camera comes damn close. Here's to hoping that in 2 years the D3s will be selling for $500.00 ;)

wouldn't that be GREAT! Unfortunately it'll never happen. At least, not for about 20 years. The Nikon D2Xs, which was released a little over 2 years ago originally cost as much as the D3 costs now. The D2Xs is still being sold for a hefty $4200-4300. Obviously you were kidding about $500, but I guess I just felt like stomping on your parade :P

But I'd put money on being able to buy a full-frame Nikon DSLR for $1000 within 5 years, if not sooner.

You're probably correct about that. I'm curious how much Canon is going to sell their "5D Mk II" for... I just made up that name, but they've gotta release a 5D successor some day. What do you think? More expensive than the Nikon D700?
