In addition to the high iso performance the Nikon has a great flash system that will save you if you are shooting in an unlit basement. Also, the D3 will focus quickly and accurately in light that is so low that I struggle with my M8.

I was just at a wedding last weekend and took many excellent photos at the ceremony and reception with the 24-70/2.8. I never used a flash. I wouldn't have had a chance at getting at least half of those even with the best f/1.4 or f/1.0 glass on my M8.

If you can manage the weight, the D3 will not disappoint you.

Best,

Bill
