That might be a good idea.

But I am truly impressed with the A3 print from the D3. And as those on this forum who know where I am coming from will know I am not easily impressed with things photographic.

I would dearly love to see a straight level playing field shootout between the D3 and D300 at 200ISO- 400ISO ( plenty fast enough for me) printed to A3 with an Epson R2400 as per my other post in the digital forum. I suspect that to all intents and purpose the resulting differences if any would be of no consequence whatever.

If only the D3 was stripped of all the unnecessary gimmicks and reduced to half the size it might provide the basis for a long term relationship. Now what a novelty that would be in this digital world.
