When the Nikon D3 was first announced in August 2007, the photography world was stunned and amazed. Nikon users finally have something to brag about after years of Canon's 1D assault on the professional market. Both amateur and professional photographers rushed to get their hands on the D3 when it became available to the general public. Six months later and strolling through craiglist.org you will find people selling off their D3 for various reasons and mostly from amateur photographers that misunderstood what the camera really does and what they are hoping it would do.
