Guy,
according to Nikon's pdf files both save 12 or 14 bit NEFs (user selectable, Leica please note...), so I would have thought that the 'bigger' pixels of the D3 would give better DR. All depends how the sensor chip works, Nikon's last self designed chip was not quite up to the highest standards....
Shame the D3 doesnt have the self cleaning sensor though.
