well i am going to buy a D3 soon. Either that, or a D3x when it comes out. But im not sure I need the megapixels, and I am assuming that high iso performance will be sacrificed when the photo-sites or whatever are smaller. anyone have any thoughts?

And also, I found the D3 for sale for around 2,500 dollars! but i feel really sketchy about the merchant. there's two of them actually. what do you all think?

WildDigital.com - Nikon*D3, 12.4 Megapixel, Interchangeable Lens, SLR, Digital Camera

Nikon D3 (Body Only) (Nikon-25434) - Compare Prices at ShopCartUSA.com

that's cheaper than the D700 yikes.

oh, and i forgot to mention, that I think Nikon is kicking Canon's sorry but right now!

My work has an Eos1ds MkIII and from what I have seen, the D3 slaughters, at half the megapixel count.

You know how the old saying goes, "If it sounds too good to be true...."

www.ResellerRatings.com
Use it. Use it often.

WildDigital.com Customer Ratings, Reviews and Prices at ResellerRatings

They both sound like your typical "Crooklyn Camera Shops."

You'll never get those D3's at those prices.

holy cow! ha ha. i didn't think it could be legit. I guess I'll have to keep saving up! I was thinking of going ebay, but it would be nice to know that something like this is new and unused...

Just get a D700, less saving up needed.

Question, do you even need the camera you are considering getting?

My advice to you:

- Use your own ears as everybody's hearing and preferences are different.
- Try to audition as much equipment as possible to find your sound.
- Buy used to save money.
