The top sports 35mm full frame DSLR in the world and probably the
"production" top sports camera in absolute terms is the Nikon D3S. It has
"ONLY " a 12 MP sensor but could probably take usable pictures at the
bottom of a deep well on the dark side of the Moon (transportation extra).

A D3s is very big, very heavy and very expensive (compared to almost any
other production 35mm DSLR).

Olin bought one a few months ago.

The new Nikon D4 MAY be slightly better noise wise. But may not.

A Nikon D3s meets my photographic needs precisely except for the big, heavy
and expensive parts.
