I bought the Nikon D3 and a few lenses lst week. Great camera and not big if you use a 50 1.4 . Lenses not as good as M8 but they have benefits. Zeiss are great but manual so might defeat benefit of D3 AF.

I did consider the upcoming D3 24meg? model but could not justify the extra cost bearing in mind that in 4-5 years the price will be the same as the D3 as I can upgrade then.

I am waiting for the replacement of the 80-400 and or the 70-200 and some new fast primes due this June-sept.

Regards
