Thanks Guys,

I just wanted to get the general feeling about the D3. I actually took the plunge today and ordered my D3. Should be here by the end of next week - can't wait. The one thing that the D3 does share with the Leica tradition is the analogue method of control. That was the main thing that attracted me to this camera. Yes, I know, that all the other makes also offer you manual control, via this menu and that command dial. However, it is not the same as being able to change settings on dials. Most people probably won't understand that, but this brings one back to "making" the picture and not just pointing some computer at a scene and pressing the shutter release. I have missed that feeling since I stopped shooting 6x6.
