Abstract: We all know that the Canon 1D Mark IV and Nikon D3S are geared toward sports photographers. While the cameras have found their way into many other photography niches, at their core, these cameras are made for shooting sports. As an action-oriented ca...
Abstract: If you want to test the mettle of a camera intended to satisfy a craven need for speed, take that camera to a hockey game, one of the world’s fastest sports. That’s one of the tests to which I put the Nikon D3S, a brute of a camera that seems to ad...
One of the fastest DSLR cameras you can get, the DS3 is just perfect for capturing quick-moving action shots. It can record at up to 11fps (frames per second) so can easily catch a car whizzing by, or a dart in mid air. You do lose a little resolution by engaging the fast (continuous) shooting mode but the images are still fantastic, with rich colours and amazing detail.
Yes, the 720p HD video mode is more than just a bonus but it doesn’t compete with the Full HD (1920x1080) available on Canon EOS models like the 5D Mark II and 550D. This is also a serious level of investment so you’ll need to be sure about just how big your love of photography is.
The Nikon D3S is a superbly engineered camera that looks the business and also does the business when it comes to ultra-high-quality still images. Find the cash for this beauty and you’re unlikely to be disappointed – though you may have to brush up yo...
Great speed performance, Exceptional low light/high ISO performance, Excellent image quality, Sophisticated feature set,
"Only" 12 megapixels (may or may not matter to some photographers), HD video is "only" 720p, Learning curve and somewhat confusing Custom Setting menu system,
The Nikon D3S is probably among the most capable pro DSLRs on the market today. It has the feature set, speed, flexibility and image quality that professionals need with only a 12 megapixel sensor. You may not agree, but I would rather trade off some m...
12.1-megapixel FX format (23.9 x 36mm) CMOS sensor provides full frame focal lengths without taxing your existing storage system, Sets a new benchmark for high ISO image quality, Excellent high ISO performance to ISO 12,800, with expansion to ISO 102,4...
12.1-megapixels may not be sufficient for some applications, DX mode only 5.1-megapixels, ISO below 200 disappoints, Poor auto white balance in incandescent lighting, Not an inconspicuous design, 43.7 ounces (without a lens and battery), No on-demand g...
So the Nikon D3S is an amazingly capable professional digital SLR, retaining most of what was great about the Nikon D3, and adding astonishing improvements in low-light capability and a larger image buffer size. Enough stayed the same, though, that we'...
Excellent image quality, particularly at very high sensitivities, great ergonomics, design and control layout, menu system, comprehensive feature set and HD movie capability with external audio.
Fastest frame rate only available in DX format mode, Price (the D3s is £800 dearer than the D3 at launch), Low light AF hunting, bulk/weight.
This evolution of Nikon’s D3 full “FX” frame professional digital SLR brings new features such as HD movies into the frame. A new 12.1-megapixel sensor with improved circuitry allows superb image quality at very high ISO settings (ISO 102,400 in the ...
Abstract: En del motiv är det bara att ge upp. Det är ju inte alltid man kan parkera kameran på ett stabilt stativ och ta de bilder man vill om ljusförhållandena är dåliga. Actionscener i svag kvällssol kräver en ljuskänslig kamera som tillåter att man vride...
Abstract: La D3 pone de nuevo a Nikon en el candelero, y el público de nuevo se interesa por la marca. De hecho, la Nikon D3 ya era una excelente cámara DSLR que dejaba poco que desear. Y Nikon se las ha arreglado para mejorar aún más la cámara. Eso por sí mism...
