Great colours and tone, all of them are great, and just with interest, did you use the "D2X colour mode"? Because these all look really close to the colours of the D2Xs that I shot with yesterday, and it was the same swimwear/modelling stuff as well. :)

The images look great mate. Great colours, great DOF. The crispness looks amazing.

Keep trucking with the D3 and show all these Canon users how it works!

Well done.

The only thing I find just that little difficult would be setting up the AF system.

You can load the D2X colour modes into the D3, but when you do you will find that one of the existing modes is already very very close, which is why Grev may have thought that you had already loaded them.
