Am I crazy to want a D3...?

Aug 24, 2007

How many other hobbyist photographers are thinking of picking up a D3?

I know in my mind there is NO way I could ever justify this, and at the same time I can't help but want one. If the IQ and performance hold up to the claims, I will more than likely buy one.

But it is EXPENSIVE as heck for someone that doesn't photograph professionally.

Have I lost it? The D300 should be a perfect camera for me, and I'm thinking of plopping an extra $3300 just to have full frame and low noise. Somehow in the back of my mind I know I won't be content with the D300.

Anyone else?
