Thanks, Gary. I've almost pulled the trigger on getting the D3 more time than I can count. I'm going to wait until 7/1, and see what Nikon may announce.

The thing I love most about the D3 is the ability to use a 5:4 format. It speeds up my PP work immensely. I can frame in the camera and know I'll have a perfect 8x10. Of course, I've learned to crop loosely in the camera to allow for later cropping, but I'd love to be able to use all the pixels in the picture, without having to crop later.

This may be a small feature to most D3 users, what with the low ISO, fps capability, but the 5:4 aspect ration is the one thing about the D3 that floats my boat.
