I still feel shaky about Canon AF, the 1D III and 5D2 haunt me. I know Canon has made advancements but they really blew it by denying there was an issue for so long.
Yeah, you're a victim of really bad timing. Canon has never been that bad before or since.
I understand that but at the time I started my freelance endeavor and I needed something I could count on. The D3 was not only more accurate than the 1D3, it was full frame. The 1D4 was a slap in the face as they raised the price and it was still an APS-H sized chip. It made more sense for me to use Nikon.
To the D3's credit, the image quality holds up pretty well for an old imaging chip.
I have been back and forth from Nikon and Canon so many times. I can recall at least 5 times. I just don't want to switch up my muscle memory one more time.
