Technical Specifications
Review At first glance the D3s and its predecessor, the D3, are difficult to tell apart. But the new professional flagship camera of Nikon does offer some substantial changes in its features. One thing you'll instantly notice about the D3s is its amazingly well built body. The feel of the body makes you to expect this camera to work like a tank. The 920,000 dot LCD screen, just like D3, is unchanged and yet does a very good job. Performance wise, the D3s is just amazing! With a burst rate of 9fps and an increased buffer, the camera is unstoppable. The company claims that the battery can stand up to 4200 shots before being recharged. But the best feature of the D3s is the groundbreaking non-flash photography, thanks to the high sensitivity of up to ISO 102,400. The camera is perfect for emergency shooting in the dark. The D3 also produces accurate color reproduction at native and low sensitivities. In a characteristic Nikon style, the controls are very efficient, as they are arranged ergonomically rather than for instant recognition. Also, the Live View button is now placed near the LCD screen, instead of the dial which comes out to be quite convenient. The extra height of the camera provides a good grip to hold the camera. Another key enhancement is the 24fps, 720p video execution, by which you can shoot with sensitivities to about ISO 6400, aperture and shutter adjustments in the preview mode and optional sound levels. The only things that might work against the camera are the weight of the camera and the price that it commands. But these are minor glitches for someone who wants the something that is one of the best in business. The stunning performance of the camera in low-light, the high shutter speed, great build and amazing picture quality, makes the D3s a very desirable machine. It is also a very good option for sports or action photographers. Our verdict – just go for it! |
Enter the latest pro dSLR of Nikon, the D3s, a heir apparent to the very popular Nikon D3. Packed with a few substantial changes, the D3s is a deserving successor to D3. The implausible performance in low light, the amazing picture quality, video recording mode, the quite shutter, choice of four image formats are some of the significant features of this spectacular camera.
