I have both, the D3X and the 810, (also the D4S and 750) and I still use and love the D3X and have no plans to get rid of it. I delivers a special image. It's my go-to for studio shooting, nails the skin tones and of course is fabulous for landscape - at low ISO it competes with the newer bodies.
If you get a good price on a low mileage body, you'll not be disappointed.

I completely agree! D3X is still competitive at low ISO to this day! I loved the D3X and I made the mistake of selling it to get the D810, a decision I regretted. Don't get me wrong, the D810 is a great camera, but there is something special about the D3X. The D3X still focuses better than the D800/E. I primarily use my D4S now and am planning my move to medium format for everything not action, sports, wildlife, etc... I have tried to convince myself to shoot half bodies like the D800/E/810, but I cannot. I absolutely hate them from an ergonomic perspective. I need a full body with an integrated grip and controls for portrait orientation shooting. They simply feel more natural in my hands. As far as sensor output, I thought the Sony sensors in the D3X and D810 were fairly similar, with skin tones favoring the D3X.
