Difference between my camera and a more expensive one.

I must say, I do find Thom Hogan quite depressing. Here I go shelling out quite a lot of money (to me) on my D90 and I go to read his review and, while it's positive in places, he's also quite down about it and, particularly in other parts of his site he clearly prefers the D3. Yet go to his review of the D3 and he's at times pretty luke-warm about that too.

Ultimately I'm not sure how the D3 might be a significantly better camera.

I know that some people will say that Thom is downbeat about equipment because he has a higher bar of standards but I really wish he'd be a bit more enthusiastic about more affordable models! At least old Ken Rockwell makes you happy to walk outdoors with your camera.
