Just thought I would post a few shots taken with the D3. I have used it for 10 months now and it has been my general purpose camera, taken anything from low light family photos to some of my favourite landscapes with excellent details.
The following pictures are all taken with the Nikkor 17-35 F2.8
I used to shoot with Canon 1Ds2 and 16-35 2.8 and I find that photos taken with D3 are contrastier and sharper with heaps of details. Thanks for looking!
That third one really does it for me, as does the very last one with the blurry star trails. I've heard several people say they prefer the D3's measly 12mpix to the 1D's 16 or 21, who knew
With the amount of details rendered by the D3, I had cropped square a D3 raw file to 5000 px x 5000 px 300 dpi and printed to 20" with jaw dropping sharpness... I haven't tried anything larger though.
Those are all excellent shots with excellent details.
I honestly believe that the D3 is the most advanced camera in the market at present. I have never used one but I have used the D700 and the experience has been exhilarating.
If the photographer needs the full frame and the professional body the D3 should serve him or her well.

Hi, thanks guys, yes the D3 with 17-35 is an excellent combo for landscaping. viewing at 100% of the first photo is just amazing
I honestly don't need the D3 and believe that the D700 suits me better. However I didn't have a choice back then, but no regrets as the handling of the D3 is just wonderful. I love the shutter sound!!

As much as it pains me to admit it, I've gone the other way... the D3 and D700 files just didn't hold the same detail in 24" prints as I'm seeing from the 1DsII and 1DsIII files.
I could have saved myself a lot of money if I hadn't bought that darn HP Z3100...
