Robert, Go for it! I have the D3 from day one and won't part with it. Yes, - I have the D4 & D4s which are also doing a fine job but there is something about that camera that I enjoy when I put it to use. Ralph

re: Eventually we discovered That is the reason for the so called factory reset key-combo. One never knows what any previous user-owner has set, so a general reset is the only way to go. The same is the reason for many-a-first question from the Nikon support staff "have you done a general reset?". Regards, Gilbert

Turned out it was 2 stops in the camera and 3 stops from the built in flash, which were being passed on to the SB800 but not appearing in the flashgun settings screen. We could see it in the exposure info, but not why.

Robert, I agree. One tip (I discoverded on first acquaiintance with the D3): One can store most settings on a memory-card, it may be wise to store standard personal/preferred settings on a small CF card, and keep that card handy. Note: on most Nikon DSLR's a two button reset will set the file-format to JPG. Regards, Gilbert

Well I decided to shelve the D3 until I have completed the car build or I win the lotto, which is unlikely, given I never buy a ticket! LOL My buddy took it well and promises to keep one with my name on it, so eventually I will get the D3 I have promised myself. This experience has further convinced me that the D3 is the camera I need, having used several now, I feel so comfortable with them, they seem so natural and forgiving of my lack of technique. Providing top class results in very adverse conditions. They work so well with older film lenses which although they are outdated seem to produce such charming images. I don't want to be able to define a gnat's whatnots at three miles. Or even the gnat!!! ![]()
