some brief descriptions. The full review shall be out after 2 months when the cameras shall be on sale, then you will get to know its finalized firmware's real ISO performance and accurate review of its autofocus system.

Nikon showcases their new mid-range dslr Nikon D300 and professional dslr Nikon D3 here.

Shortly after posting
Nikon D3 Sample Photo (ISO 640), I received another mail regarding photo leak of Nikon D3 at ISO 3200. This time, photos were taken at a soccer field. There are believed to be taken using Nikon D3 and Nikon 400 f2.8 VR lens.
I have resized and sharpen the sample photos. 100% cropping is done in Photoshop CS3 to enable a better view of how Nikon D3 performs in ISO3200. Nikon D3's ISO3200 setting is one of the normal ISO settings in the camera, unlike the Nikon D2 series where ISO3200 is known as HI-1.
