Thanks for the helpful answers and references I received. I decided
on the D3, primarily to get the 24x36 mm plate.

Blimey, I wish I had the funds to make a £3500 decision that quickly on
so little information. You might be disappointed when you actually hold
one in your hands to find that it isn't a plate camera.

Can you elaborate? by "plate" I was referring to the 24x36 12 mpix
sensor. What is a "plate camera", and in what sense is the D3 not
one? BTW, the decision was not as speedy as it appears.

Thanks,
Mike.

So you don't know what a plate camera is, yet you claim you are going
to buy a D3?

Does your mummy know that you are using her computer?

Have you stopped beating your wife?
