This sort of results from others confirms to me that a D750 is probably a good replacement for my D3.
However I have been tempted a few times by low mileage D3X cameras as these have 24MP but the older EXPEED 3 chipset.
I would have thought the Expeed chipset simply matches the sensor demands? They must be matched both in generational development and performance terms, I would have thought, sort of 'hand in glove'.
To me the more pertinent question would be does the D3X loose any of the D3's superb low light performance, if so, does slightly reduced low light performance matter for the anticipated application?
Until now, for me low light hasn't been a great attraction, my primary objective has been to photograph plants and flowers in good or at least workable light, for the most part the D200 has been and still is superb for that.
My interest in low light photography and my long term goal of having a full frame 35mm (FX) body to allow the full utilisation of my carefully chosen full frame lenses is what drives my choice of a D3, I also have severe budget constraints.
As my prime focus on plant photography reduces, I am looking at a broader range of subjects and a more relaxed general interest in photography, experimenting with technique, both in capturing and processing images and having some fun along the way.
