That's far from true. I can safely say that all of the Nikon modern pro bodies since the F5 have extremely comfortable ergonomics. They are a lot easier to hold than an M8 unless your have installed a grip on your M8.

I use both systems and they cannot replace each other. They have strengths in their own ways: yes, even for weddings.

If you are just focusing on low light situations, the D3 is light years ahead. There's no comparison, even with the Canon pro bodies.

If you use a really fast lens on the M8 in dim light at ISO 320 and below, you can obtain images with color subtleties which the D3 cannot achieve. The limitation is that the your subject should not be moving.
