Ignore my comment about going for the bundle then Colin... :lol:

Congrats on the purchase, you WILL love it :nikon:

[Techno-Geek]

ISO 2500?? Woah

[kmlc]

ah man, thats awesome!!!!

[natjag]

Hacker, if we do another studio session, don't bring the D3. It will turn into a canon.
Well done. As a canon user, I have to say, I wish I wasn't after seeing the results of the D3 (and D300) it's just ahead of the competition now. Canon only has the edge on pixels with the 1ds mk11/111, but the quality in the D3 can easily be interpolated.

BTW I'm hoping to book Digital Village studio for my own project in the middle of May.

[Joe T]

I cant believe people didnt get this sooner! The box was a dead giveaway to me! :p :D

[Witch]

I'm a Canonite and even I guessed what it was from the Box & Colin's description. Gee - you Nikonians are SLOW! :lol:

Really chuffed for you Colin - looking forward to seeing some shots. One question though - HOW long are you on washing up duty to make up for being allowed that new toy?! ;)

[Grendel]

Nice one Colin, congratulations on your new arrival :D

[digitalfailure]

Must be B grade.....it's got Canon spelt wrong





;)

nice one colin :thumbs:

[photostar_1]

OOoooooh! If anything could make me cross to the "dark side", it would be that camera! All the reviews I have read make me wish it was a Canon....that noise control is awesome!

CONGRATS to you!!!:woot:
