Nikon D3 User Reviews
  • "Wow what a camera! It's a digital F5! Nikon finally goes full-frame and the results are amazing. I've been able to shoot in lower light and wide angle shines without the crop factor. The only negative is size and weight but pros are already accustomed to that." - T. Davis, New York
