iso 10000 on d3 is roughly iso 6400 on 1dm3. gonna add comparison pics soon.
-sharpness is not the point of this test. as i used 1.4 @ 1.4 for mark3 and 1.4@2.8 for d3
click the link below for fullsize comparison (9MB JPG File)

High ISO Comparison 100% Crops

for d3 and 1dm3 real life samples click here

Afterthoughts…
-d3 is clearly a superior machine at a higher price point
-1dm3 does very well up to 3200
-lens line up is an important consideration for picking either
-with af lens such as 85L and 35L, 1dm3 can shoot at larger aperture with AF than nikon’s offering
-AF point layout is more useful in 1dm3, it spreads out more than d3
-d3’s lcd is wonderful
-mfing with af confirm is easy on d3 with af confirm hints that tell u which way to turn focus ring

mom leaves after less than 1 month LOL..
