The shot is from the
IAAF championships in Osaka, Japan - that's the only place in the world where D3 and D300 bodies are actively being used right now by select photographers whom have been pre-approved by Nikon.
Nikon Japan has a team on-site that is assisting these photographers in using not only the D3 bodies but also the new 400, 500 and 600mm VR lenses.
As I said before; these are pre-production bodies that are undergoing their first real-world tests before shipping begins. This is effectively beta-testing for the cameras before they are finalised... hence November being the availability date.
