why would someone want to compare the 5D MKII with a D3? it isnt on the same range...

ef2nyd is correct, the Nikon D3 and Canon EOS 5D Mark II are not two to compare. The D3 would be on the same platform as the Canon EOS 1D series. It's not about which camera wins or not. Both companies are very well respectable and highly trustable. Differences should not be settled over their brand name.

NikonPro3, Canon hasn't had a DSLR with 3 auto-focusing points since the D60, which was introduced back in 2002. Since then, they have upgraded to 7 AF points, 9 AF points, and 45 AF points. Even their entry level DSLRs are equipped with 9 point AF systems. Nikon's latest entry level, the D60, still remains with 3 AF points. Since the introduction of the 10D in 2003, Canon has used AF systems with 7 points and 9 points. AF points is nothing to brag about, anything over 11 points I'd deem useless

My point of view, I like Nikon more and you like whatever you like; although DSLR is for photos not video, for video theres video cameras Nikon D90 also has HD video I don't find that interesting I use my camera for photo not video.

Do you really worry about af points being a "pro"? For my purposes, IQ and center AF speed come first, everything else is just a bonus. My 1D has 45 points, but I limit it to 11 since I don't need to use that any more. Anyway, the 5D MkII is appealing for its noise control (supposedly improved from the legendary mark I), MP count, HD video, and if you're already invested in the Canon system, the lenses. I find the D700 and 5D MkII equally enticing, the 5D more so with the video mode.

Compare it to the D300, again Canon on any camera has 3, 6, 9, or both 6 and nine while D80=11afp D90=11afp D200=11afp D300=51afp D700=51afp D3=51afp just that raises its quality by so much. So many more features I could add to that but not enough room.
NikonPro3 (December 31, 1969 at 6:59 pm)
I did cause to many people compare them anyways so why not if the D3 wins

3" isn't big. DSLRs are big. The original 5D LCD cover is already 3" with 2.5" viewable. They could probably go to about 3.5" on the same body.

You're not comparing the 5D MkII to a D3, are you? The 5D is prosumer while the D3 is Pro.
