Hands-On With the Nikon D3 DSLR

I had a meeting with Nikon yesterday and had my first chance to see and handle the D300 and D3. I didn�t really get enough time with the cameras to form a real impression. But I did get to play with the D3 a bit and they showed me the camera�s Liveview LCD display and two of the new Nikkor lenses, the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED Zoom and the AF-S NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8G ED Zoom. My first impression of the D3 is BIG. It�s not too big or heavy, but it did surprise me. For a pro body, mass is usually a good thing, adding stability. However, at 2.73 pounds the D3 is about two-tenths of a pound heavier than the newest Canon EOS-1D bodies. Add a pro telephoto Nikkor lens and you�re going to need some muscles to carry this thing around.
