You can read the detailed spec sheet in forensic detail if you like, but the short version is if you think there's a DSLR feature worth having, the Nikon D3 has it (with a couple of key exceptions). Live View for example; digital compact cameras have had it since for as long as there have been digital compact cameras. Even bridge cameras have Live View... but the technology is hard to implement on a DSLR because of the mirror box inherent to the design. The Nikon D3, however, incorporates Live View. This isn't a new feature on DSLR - Olympus and Fuji got there first and it's now the 'must have' feature on most new DSLRs. However, it's generally only useful on a tripod, because it often disables focusing modes. Read the whole review here
