As Shewie has pointed out it's the size, that's the only diffrence, apart from the price. If you are thinking of buying one go for the DC4, the slightly larger size makes a lot of difference I have found.

I've got the DC4 and any smaller would be annoying! Also ask the seller to check the cermaic side! mine came soncave and means it's difficult to use..had to boild the glue off and flip it over and it works better but there is still bumps on it.
crap customer service too!

just the size as Shewie says, however i find my DC3 to be the one i carry and reach for even though it is the smaller of the two and i have the dc4 and not really used it so far

The DC3 is the one I tend to carry as it is nice and compact and slips easily into a pocket or a sac. However it can be a bit more fiddly to use just because it is that bit smaller. You do get used to it though :)
