@OP:The D3 is a great looking camera and I'm sure you will be happy with its many upgrades. I suggest hanging onto the D7000 though, especially on sports shoots, just in case you want that longer reach and higher pixel coverage of the cropped region (with a 36MP full frame this doesn't matter, but a 12MP yes, I would want to bring both bodies)
@Billydoo:
And from the article:Nice.
The D3 is just a beautiful beast of a camera. It's my main body for weddings and it takes a beating. How?
Here is my D3 after it got run over by a car...

Enjoy your new camera!!!
How could you possibly know anything of the sort? The D7000 the OP had for instance is also magnesium alloy. Or even a tiny plastic Canon SL1 might have survived, because A) The plastics they use are actually debatably as strong as magnesium alloy for certain types of damage, B) A smaller camera has less torque applied to its parts, and inherently higher crush strength all other things equal, C) Maybe the force on the body just simply wasn't high enough to break a lesser camera even if it does use weaker materials, etc.Any other camera body would probably be in pieces.
I have to say that I read many of your posts as there is often good info there. Did you ever step back though and think "I don't have to argue every single point"
