So what if you took a D3, and squeezed it into a form factor about the size of a D300, and knocked...

Brilliant sensor performance, perfect size and handling

95% viewfinder

Breathtakingly high quality images which can ... 

Large sensor provides high quality images with low noise at high ISOs. Solid body facilitates holding camera steady with longer lenses. Logically laid out contols, easy to use. Relatively powerful built in flash not usually found on pro level models

LCD screen is fixed and so doesn't have variable angles. 'In body' anti-shake would allow for use of that feature with more lenses

My first DSLR was D200 and I though it was ex... 

High ISO, excellent ergonomic, LCD, fast AF, color accuracy and exposure

Heavy, 5fps, no build-in image stabilization, 95% coverage

Image quality, D3 tech for $2k less, perfect form factor

Pricey. USB ports covered with a flimsy plug. Capture NX 2 is only a 60-day trial version

Bottom line is that I don't regret spending t... 

Nikon's beautiful Natural colors. Super sharpness - yet that sleek look. I can use my D300 grip with it. Faster than D300 at focusing. And I find myself shooting at ISO 2000 & up without blinking an eye. I would not ever have done that before

I miss 100% viewfinder of the D300. I've not adjusted my framing yet

What's not to like about a body that is almos... 

Full frame format. Light compared to D3. Quieter than previous Nikon DSLRs. Image quality is amazing

For me these are minor faults that are necessary to keep cost, body size and weight down: 95% viewfinder, 5fps burst, no vertical grip or vertical button

With 30+ years of experience in teh Film Indu... 

Capable of turning out Stunning Images, Incredible Build Quality, Great Features. Menus are well laid out. Numerous shortcuts you can create to access most used / favorite features. Metering is superb. Camera works fast and easy & does not fight you

Not cheap to purchase and you need the best glass (lenses) made to take full advantage of the Sensor in this camera

Having used the D300 for over a year it was n... 

Low noise at high ISO (3200). good fit and build quality. can use same battery grip as my D300. also can now use to full effect my Nikon lenes from my film days along with my DX lenes

As a advance ametuer none that I can think of
