Review of my Nikon D3...almost

[DivePhotoGuide]

So I ordered a D3 and have been patiently waiting for it for 2 weeks. Frustrating to say the least! Of course the housing won't be ready until March, but I want to start shooting it now!

I got even more frustrated last week when my spare battery arrived with no camera! So I reviewed it...

Where did you order it from? I put my order in with Underwater Photo Tech and had one in a week.

got it from B&H. ironically, as if the camera gods were listening, my D3 arrived today 3 or 4 hours after posting that piece. Ta da! I'm psyched - like a little kid with a new shiny toy! I'm pissed, I have meetings tomorrow. I may take the D3 into Manhattan and shoot some skyline. I've been playing with it in the house with no flash at ISO 6400 and it's taking some great pictures. I'm looking forward to this.

Grats on the new toy !

Could you maybe post a few of your shoots ?
Just so the rest of us can drool on the low noise in iso 6400.

yup i'll do that for sure.

it's been sitting on my desk for a few days waiting for me to play with it. the only non DX lens I have is the 16mm fisheye, so that's what i'm playing with. i need to buy the new 14-24 for the D3 to replace my 12-24. the DX lenses crop down to a 5MP image. I'll experiment with some of those too with the 12-24 (my 'working lens' on my D200)

stay tuned a day or so...
