We’ve already seen it previewed and unboxed, but now that Nikon’s super high-end D3 DSLR has been out for a little while, we’re starting to get some full-on reviews of the camera and, as you might have guessed if you’ve been lucky enough to get your hands on one, there’s plenty of consensus going on. |
|
Indeed, the praise being heaped on the camera is among the loftiest we’ve seen, with Photography Blog calling it “pretty much peerless,” Think Camera declaring that “the files coming out of the Nikon D3 look better than any camera we’ve seen to date,” and Ken Rockwell flat out calling it “the best camera ever made by Nikon.” Needless to say, the upsides to the camera are a little long to list here, but it particularly fares well when it comes to rapid-fire image capture and low light photography, which makes it especially well-suited to press photographers. The biggest single complaint the reviewers could find was a lack of any built-in sensor cleaning technology, with only a couple of minor design flaws (like a lack of a spring inside the CF card door) attracting their attention otherwise.
There’s also, of course, that nearly $5,000 price tag, but we’re guessing anyone actually in the market for the camera make do with that in turn for the results they’ll get. |

Fujifilm today announced the launch of the long zoom, SLR-styled FinePix S8100fd digital camera, which combines user-friendliness with long-zoom versatility and high speed shooting modes that are rarely found in non-professional models. |
