I have found a nice portrait made at ISO 10000 with the D3. It shows how good the performance at high ISO actually is – pretty amazing!
Michael Webers Nikon D3 review
November 28, 2007 by Leave a Comment
Michael Weber has posted his Nikon D3 review. According to him the D3 has a slight DR advantage over the Canon 1DIII and the new autofocus is very accurate. Some quotes:
“Image quality especially at high ISOs above 1600 will set new standards”
“Literally shocked were some of them (his Canon collegues) when they had a look at my sequences take with the innovative scene recognition system at 9 fps. No matter where the player’s movements were constant or jerky, whether the background was disturbing or very contrasty, or players in the front passed through the scene, the newly designed AF tracking was mostly spot on and very, very accurate.”
Bjørn Rørslett and the Nikon D3

Bjørn Rørslett, famous owner of naturfotograf.com , has got his D3 and has posted some first impressions – and note, he usually is not easily impressed:
“After the first hour of use, all I can say is this:
GRAB any 35/1.4, 50/1.2, or whatever lens you have on your wishlist and intend to deploy on a D3, BEFORE prices skyrocket !!!! I’m almost dumbfounded and that’s not something I experience very often. Not even my 8/2.8 fisheye shows any sign of CA illness.
Whatever wizardry Nikon concocted for the D3, it obviously works.”
