I shot a complete wedding the past weekend using the Nikon D3, and it was wonderful.

I used the Nikon D3, two SanDisk Extreme III 12GB Compact Flash Cards (in overflow mode,) and Nikon SB-800 Speedlight and the Nikor 85mm f/1.4 FX format lens.

I have posted about the Nikon D3 and FX format before as well as about the Nikor 85mm f/1.4 and I have been very pleased with both

The 85mm FX format lens really has a chance to shine on the D3. The DX format cameras delivered exceptional performance with the lens, but the 1.5X crop factor sometimes made the 85mm (equivalent to 127mm) awkward for wedding work.

The the full frame FX sensor, the 85mm and the D3 can produce amazing results in any type of lighting. The 85mm's f/1.4 and the D3's high quality 2500 ISO make producing high quality in low light portraits exceptionally easy.
