The 1.5x crop vs. 2x crop is not that much different, especially IF you prefer the 4/3 ratio. The D3 is a whole different class. It should be compared with 1DsMkIIIOMGWTFBBQ, or the 5DsuperDuperMKCCIXV. My budget calls for the D300/E-3 (actually my budget calls for E410, but I digress). If I lift weights and have more money, then the D3 would be very good to have.
