Full frame makes wide angle work that little bit easier.....IE..It means that a 10mm lens, is actually 10mm...rahter than being cropped to ~14mm

I thought, and this may be wrong, is that they are compatible with use 35 mm film camera lenses

They are, thats for sure but there are a lot of Pro's that have sold there old Nikon stuff and reinvested in the DX lenses only to find that
they now need the new lenses for the D3.
Now i have in my collection of cameras, D100, D2h, D2x and D3, i have loads of lenses from 25+ years ago to only a few months ago.
The D3 will auto crop to suit the lens but i can loose pixel resolution and am buying the new range of lenses at f2.8 or better.
But the best, best thing or things about the D3 are the low light capabilities and its ability to sync flash at just about any speed, and now i have a
digital camera that i can truly balance flash with. Previous models were not great with flash, more like a digital broadcast camera than a film
camera.
With film you look after the shadow detail knowing the highlights will be OK on digi video you had to be very aware of the highlight detail.
On the D2h and D2x once you blew the whites there was no going back but to my delight the D3 with the SB800's that i mainly use outside works
bloody well.
But it is a lot of money.

I see..
I see what you mean. My new main lens thats 18-200mm is specifically for APS-C sensors (tamron Di II) and works great at 18mm, much wider than I
thought it would be.. with still a decent zoomy..
