Good Points
For pro's you cannot beat this body. ISO is amazing. Motor drive at 9 FPS is amazing. Dual card slots is amazing. It's just amazing.
Bad Points
Helps if you know what you're doing because it's an advanced camera. But nothing you can't learn on YouTube or in a manual.

    Summary: The Nikon D3 is a fully-specced professional camera that delivers images via a 12.1 megapixel full-frame sensor. It offers an impressive range of ISO settings (200-6400, with a boost to 25600), and uses an EXPEED processor for lower power consumption....

    Conclusion: If you’re serious about photography and about having the best kit, the Nikon D3 demands your attention. It’s sophisticated, yet remains fairly straightforward to operate, so the only major decision you have is on whether to commit to this big an...

    Pro : As it should do, image quality tops the list of the D3’s good points. There’s exceptional detail and resolution, as well as a superb dynamic range. The camera is incredibly fast, with instant power-up and very little shutter lag. The combination of a...

    Cons : The Nikon D3 requires a significant investment, its £2,772.11 price tag highlighting that this is for serious users. That aside, there’s not much even a pro could fault this camera on

    Summary: Nikon has always been a major force in the digital SLR market, but in the last year or so, it has seen its popularity increase and the gap between it and rival Canon shrink. The 12.1-megapixel D3 is its latest flagship model and the first to boast an...

    Conclusion: While 3in screens are becoming the norm on high-end DSLRs, it's worth reiterating how good the D3's is. It's very sharp and bright and even in bright light, it's usable. So once you've taken some shots, you've got the extra satisfaction of reviewing...

    Summary: Pro photographers just got a new option for full-frame digital photography: the Nikon D3 digital SLR camera. Not only will it make their old Nikon glass fully usable again, but it's now the fastest digital SLR on the market — with some limitations. As...

    Summary: The D3 is not 35mm full frame. Its sensor is 36x23.9mm NOT 36x24mm, which means that we have another new format. It's called Nikon FX, but does 0.1mm really make any difference?

    Conclusion: In the two weeks I had the Nikon D3, I was excited, enthused and inspired every time I used it. It made me want to take more pictures. It's truly amazing. The D3 is my camera of the decade.

    Pro : Handling, full frame, noise performance, image quality, autofocus, takes almost any Nikon lens

    Cons : No physical sensor cleaning system, won't take my Canon lenses
