Looks like the pros who have stuck it out with Nikon for the last couple of

years have finely got what they have been waiting for! Check out the new Nikons:

The D3 looks like a wedding photographers dream camera! http://www.dpreview.com/

Still less expensive than the new Can't-ons.

I didn't see a mention of who made the sensor, but if it was Sony, we can also expect a FF Sony dSLR soon.

As far as people can tell, the FF one was made by Nikon. This would be the first one they've made since the one in the D2h. The one in the D300 is by Sony, though oddly enough it's not quite the same as any of the other Sony ones. So it's likely a specific design by Nikon but fabb'ed by Sony.

As well, check out the D300...@ $1800...due in stores in November.

AFAIK the D300's is a new Sony one that will spread around sooner. As to the D3, I was always under the impression that Nikon couldn't manufacture their own sensors. The D2H had a CMOS designed by Nikon but manufactured by Sony (most likely with Nikon equipment), and the same probably goes for the D3.
