Unmatched image quality at high ISO settings. Incredibly efficient sensor. A new benchmark, Excellent AF and metering performance, Compatible with virtually all Nikon AF lenses, and most MF lenses (up to 9 AI spec or later manual focus lenses can be prog...
White balance isn't brilliant in artificial lighting (but few cameras shine in this respect), AF array is smaller (as a proportion of viewfinder area) than D300S, which makes swapping between cameras awkward in some shooting situations, Vertical AF-ON...
It is hard to overstate the importance of the Nikon D3, not only to its parent company, but also to the market as a whole. The D3 had a profound transformational effect, raising photographers' expectations of low-light imaging permanently. The 'D3...
I think these results tell us that each manufacturer delivers superior RAW conversion over the in-camera processing and Adobe Lightroom 2. I am partial using Lightroom 2 in my everyday work flow and I hope that Lightroom 3′s promising noise reduction ...
Stolze 5.000 Euro ruft Nikon für die D3S auf – ist die Kamera diesen Preis wert? Sicher ist: Kaum eine andere Kleinbildkamera liefert derzeit derart rauschfreie und dennoch detailreiche Fotos bis in höchste ISO-Regionen; in diesem Punkt hat Nikon die ...
Bei den Modellen D3s und D3x hat der Profi die Qual der Wahl: Mehr Auflösung (D3x) oder herausragende Bildqualität bis ISO 6400 inklusive Videofunktion (D3s)? Wer überwiegend im Studio fotografiert, wird in der Regel zur D3x mit 24-Megapixel-CMOS gr...
Abstract: The Canon 1D Mark IV and Nikon D3s are the two latest powerhouse DSLRs from the respective manufacturers. As a quick rundown on the spec sheet, the Nikon D3s offers a 12.1-megapixel FX format sensor, while the Canon 1D Mark IV features a 16.1-megapixe...
If you've read the entire review, you'll know by now that the Nikon D3S is an exceptionally good camera. It inherits everything that was good about the D3, improves on a few things that weren't, gains a few new features, and takes image qualit...
Nikon D3s är en suverän yrkeskamera utan brister. Visst finns det någon liten punkt att fila på, men det är en högst marginell kritik. Det märks verkligen att Nikon vet hur en yrkesfotograf vill och behöver ha en ka...
Abstract: On the surface, Nikon's D3s doesn't look as if it's changed substantially compared to the top-end model it's replacing, the D3. You get the same resolution from the 12.1-megapixel sensor and the body is practically identical, barring a very minor reshu...
The standout feature on the D3s is its ISO capabilities, The top end of its ISO range is a bit of a gimmick – peeping Toms and paparazzi aside it’s unlikely you’ll need the D3s’s spectacular lightgathering detail. But the ISOs fur...
We wish the D3s had a better movie mode – 5 minutes of filming at 720p isn’t earthshattering, and of equal concern is the lack of manual control, It’s good enough for simple reportage footage, though, although wellheeled budding docum...
At this price and performance it’s a straight shootout between this and the Canon 1D MKIV, which we haven’t seen yet. If you’re a professional in the market for a new body and are already committed to Nikon equipment, there is no reason...
