Nikon D3 full frame DSLR unboxed

So it looks like the first lucky individuals have started receiving their Nikon D3s in the mail -- lucky not just because they're the proud new owner of a 12.1 megapixel full frame DSLR with 6400 ISO, 51-point autofocus, two CF slots, HDMI, and a 3-inch live view LCD, but lucky because, you know, they can afford to spend $5,000 on a camera. For those of us who can only aspire to possess such luxuries, there are always a bunch of nice unboxing shots to really help flesh out our weird gadget fantasies. You can check out another such pic after the break, before hitting the Read link for an entire D3 gallery including a few images of those new AF-S NIKKOR lenses...

[Thanks, Andrew]

Nikon D3 unboxing

My d300 is on the way. I would love the full sensor D3, but the scratch is a little much for me... maybe my next camera will be full sensor.

Too big. I want a D300 type camera with 51 point focus AND live view with a camera the size of the D40x. OK

Mmmmmm...Camera Porn!!! I have the D200 with the the Nikkor 18-200 VR and a Sigma 10-20mm and I'm pleased with it so far, wish I had faster glass. When I grow up this is the setup I want including the premium glass selected here with a 300mm f2.8 or a 200-400mm f/4 to boot. Nice!!!
