Well, I am reneging (slightly) on my aversion to high res sensors, the D3 is wonderful, I love the daylight and lowlight images, motorsport and other stuff, 12Mp is plenty for most needs.

For night time and star photography, the large pixels are a limiting factor, also I can't get my D3 into the PB4 bellows for slide copying and photo (print) copying so I am considering either the D800 or the D810, I am leaning towards the D810. There are a lot of minor improvements in the 810 over the 800. They all add up to a rather better camera.

With the advent of the Z range, these superb bodies are going for a song now, prices are plummeting, really good, low shutter count D800's for ~£600. o.O I have had two offered recently.

The D3 and D300S will still be my 'normal' bodies but the D8X0 will step in where the extra pixels and features give an advantage.
