But again I don't know if that's down to the camera, the processing or what was actually in the background.
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.
