D3 Firmware Withdrawn

The 1.1 firmware update for the D3 has been withdrawn by Nikon due to an image corruption issue. Specifically, when capturing long bursts at 9 fps using 14-bit raw one or more images in the burst may get an offset overlap effect. If you didn't yet update, don't. If you did, set your camera to 8 fps or 12-bit raw. A revised version is due by the end of the month.
