I've been using this one for 7 months now, and overall have been very satisfied with it. I wish Nikon came closer to Canon in the MP count (without having to spend $8k), but that's about my only real gripe. High ISO/low light shooting isn't really what I was expecting, but if you want better, get a D3s or D700. I don't like to push this camera much past ISO 2000 as it starts (at least mine does) getting noticeably noisy/softer results. Generally I shoot at ISO 200 anyway, so it's fine....but will go up to 1000 if I really have to. Everything else is great. A few things I've always liked about Nikon over Canon is the ease of use in navigating menus and the ergonomics/comfort. Nikon makes it pretty easy, and it's the little things that start to add up. This camera enables you to do things quickly and efficiently (while having the capability to produce great results), which is the whole idea. I've bought a lot of refurbished items from Adorama, and have always been satisfied with what I've received.

Nikon D3 Professional digital imaging without compromise. A Nikon-original 12.1- megapixel Fx-format (23.9 x 36mm) CMOS sensor, teamed with exclusive Nikon ExPEED digital image processing technology, faithfully captures incredible edge-to-edge sharpness, rich color depth and broad tonal range for astounding image superiority.
Extraordinary image quality, combined with continuous shooting at up to 9 frames-per- second and low-noise performance at up to ISO 6400, results in unparalleled pro D-SLR versatility. A fast and accurate 51-area AF system becomes even more intelligent with Nikon's exclusive Scene Recognition System. The SRS now obtains additional data from Nikon's famous 1,005-pixel RGB 3D Color Matrix Metering II, assuring even more accurate exposures and white balance detection.
Precise image review and menu access comes to life with the D3's bright, tempered glass-protected, wideangle, 3-inch, 920,000-dot VGA TFT LCD monitor.
Add a rugged self-diagnostic shutter, tested to a market-leading 300,000 cycles, housed in a magnesium alloy chassis that is comprehensively sealed against dust and moisture, and the D3 becomes yet another example of legendary Nikon durability, all adding up to uncompromised professional digital imaging.
