Congrats!
Well; that is where you and me are different If you catch me driving in my VW, which is a boring diesel by the way, you will notice a big grin on my face. And it won't be of the car I'm driving it's of the D3 lying at the backseat

Thanks for the reply Harry

Have been saving for it for a long time as well and this will have to be my camera for a very long time.
Until the next "must have" model comes out
Yeah I know what you mean man. In this digital age, people get really crazy about all those must-have things, like ipods and cell-phones. I don't give a damn about those, really. I bought a D70 three years ago because I have always been interested in photography. The D70 was for me the first affortable DSLR in the Nikon range. Before that you had had the D1 which was a 2mega pixel DSLR and costed a nasty 7500€.
With the D70 I couldn't go wrong (price wise), there was always a possibility that the D70 ended up gathering dust due to lack of interest in photography.
After awhile, I just know that I wanted a full pro body like this one. With the arrival of the D2x I got tempted and especially after shooting with one of those. I didn't buy that one cause it just didn't feel right back then. I didn't find it a giant step forwards as it suffers noise probs and it still was a DX-format.
The D3 on the other hand is a whole different ballgame, it isn't even in the same league, it isn't even the same fuckin' sport 8)

Everything falls into place as well; can afford it without hurting myself , got full support of my girl and once we get stick together, like looking for a house etc ... it will become impossible to get one of these.

So, it will HAVE to be my DSLR for quite some time.

RC45, I know you are a hard-to-convince man but I like your replies and comments. So, keep on posting and don't spare me on this one either


Cheers
