Nikon D3 Camera Is So Good Reviewer Doesn't Want to Send It Back

The D3, that enormous full-frame camera from Nikon, has had its first in-depth review. PhotographyBLOG's Gavin Stoker gave the $5,000 machine five out of five for features and image quality, while design, ease-of-use and VFM got 4.5 out of 5. Choice quotes after the jump. More »

Nikon D3 Test Photos in Florence Italy: The Teasing Continues

Yesterday we teased you and your empty wallet with a taste of the D3 unboxing, and today we will tease you with some sample shots the folks at LetsGoDigtial took in Florence Italy. With all of this coverage, even I want to find a way to scrounge together the $5000 it would take to buy it. And I'm no professional photographer. And additional photo is available after the break.

Nikon D3 Unboxing: A Preview of Your Holiday (Hopefully)

If you want a little preview of what it might be like to open up one of these 12.1 megapixel (FX format) Nikon D3 DSLRs this holiday season, now is your chance to soak it all in thanks to the folks at chromatic. The unboxing may be a little short on text, but the pictures should hold you until you can get your own. Unfortunately, the $5000 price tag means that for many of you, this is as close as you are going to get. More info and an extra pic after the jump. More »

Hands On D3 and D300 Impressions: Beefy and Beautiful

After holding the D3 and D300 for several minutes, the Digital Rebel XTi I'm using (blasphemy at a Nikon event, I know) feels like a fucking toy—when I fired the D3 on burst mode, I felt like Arnold firing the minigun in T2 between the rapid clacking and the weight. I've never held a more solid-feeling camera, though. (The D300 isn't exactly a featherweight either, but you won't need to swallow some spinach beforehand.) And the LCD screens: gorgeous. You could watch movies on them. Jump to keep reading and see the D300 from all angles.

Nikon's Flagship D3 DSLR is Fastest Ever

The rumors were true: The newest Nikon flagship DSLR is the D3. For starters, it's the DSLR with the "fastest start up time, shortest viewfinder blackout time, and shortest shutter lag" of any. And it sports a 12.1-megapixel FX format (full frame) CMOS sensor, a 3-inch, 920,000-pixel VGA viewfinder with a 170-degree viewing angle, live view, a 51-point autofocus system with 15 cross-type AF points, and a 200-6400 ISO range. And dropped into Hi 2 Mode can hit a crazy ISO equivalent of 25,600. (Maybe with grain the size of asteroids, but likely NOT.)

Nikon Leaks Info About Next Flagship DSLR, the D3?

We're feeling big rumblings out of Japan about the upcoming flagship Nikon DSLR, and the latest scuttlebutt has it called the Nikon D3. Its spec list sounds like one-upmanship of Canon's big-time flagship, the EOS-1D Mark III, but instead of 45-point autofocus of that Canon monster (which has had its problems), Nikon will go that six better with a 51-point autofocus system. The Nikon camera's also reported to have a 3-inch viewfinder. The rumor mill says there are even more improvements, too. More »
