I don't actually mind the bulk of the D3 and D4 and they fit my hands very well. I just wish Nikon hadn't made such a mess of the batteries, there is absolutely no reason why the D4 couldn't have been made to accept the EN-EL4, all Nikon needed to do was to ship it with a lower capacity battery. (Assuming the story as to why a new battery was required is true)

I too prefer FX. But I wouldn't go back to a D5. I much prefer the feel in the hand of the D750 and now D850.
Too heavy and bulky for carting around on holiday. It's also unnecessarily expensive for my needs. The grips on the D750 and D850 are deeper and better suit my fingers. I used a D750 for a while and whilst the camera produced good images, it seemed to struggle when pushed in a commercial environment. I loved my D3 when I was working, but don't have the need for something that bombproof any more
