Sammanfattning: 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...
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 ...
A solid workhorse that really delivers the results. High ISO is stunning, as is the focus system, and everything else is a bonus
Movie mode could do more, price is limiting
With the number of cameras launched every year it's easy for some to get forgotten. Some, however, stand out because of a unique feature. The D3s will be difficult to forget as the first to offer an ISO range that makes almost any lighting condition a...

Sammanfattning: A $5000 camera is not within reach for most people. So this Nikon D3s review is a bit different—it's a peek at the near future of photography where shooting in any lighting condition is possible. It's really exciting.Nikon effectively declared the pixel w...
High quality photos, Incredible lowlight capability for video or stills, Excellent build quality
Video autofocus is loud and slow, HD video in 720p 24fps only, Low video resolutions
The D3S is aimed at the professional photographer or video producer. Combining crisp pictures with amazing color and the abilities to shoot in any lighting situations possible changes the rules from ordinary video capture.Tom Cunningham is a video ent...
In print, both the Nikon D3S and Canon 1D Mark IV impress throughout the high ISO range. If you’re at ISO 6400 or below with either camera, the prints are quite smooth.Again, this exercise was intended to be a little more practical than pixel peeping ...
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...
