Cool, I love new tech, I like the range DX formats gives you never sure if FF is good for wildlife. i presume you would get a DX crop mode, but only a 6MP.

I noticed quite a few people on here have D3's and would love to here some feedback about using FF with wildlife and nature photography

Thanks for the info

TBH, there isnt a huge difference, a 500mm will act like a 500mm. You just need to get that little bit closer than you used to... but with the improvement in noise, you can do it in lower light which usually helps on the getting close. DX does help in getting pixels across the subject though...

I used to have a 14N and though not a D3 it got me familiar with FF again after using APS-C for 5 years. If it turned out to be real, i'd probably give a D700 or what ever a go, would replace my D40 certainly.
