The editors didn't like

  • No builtin flash
  • 12.1megapixel sensor
  • Sensor not selfcleaning
  • Autofocus good but not perfect
  • Breathtaking price
  • Nikon D3
  • Fastest frame rate only available in DX format mode
  • Low(ish) resolution compared to its Canon competition the EOS 1Ds Mk III.
  • No timed mirror lock-up function (could be automatic with self-timer)
  • Focus points somewhat concentrated in the center of the frame
  • Metering struggles to keep up if you shoot at the very fastest continuous rate (i.e. in manual focus mode at 9fps or 11fp...

  • Abstract:  Ever since digital SLRs took off with the masses, purists have continued to beat the drum for a full-frame 35mm sensor. Eight years after its first dSLR, the D1 in 1999, Nikon has finally released its first full-frame digital SLR--although Nikon wants ...

  • Abstract:  FOR the price of just the body of the Nikon D3, you can buy at least three beginners DSLRs (with kit lenses) plus a new 125cc motorcycle in Singapore. So whats the big deal? Plenty.This is Nikons first ever full-frame DSLR. Canon has had three, with...

  • Abstract:  Drei Jahre nach Vorstellung der D2X präsentiert Nikon den Nachfolger D3. Im Praxistest musste die neue Profispiegelreflex nachweisen, ob der japanische Kamerabauer das digitale Vollformat ebenso gut im Griff hat wie das kleinere DX-Format.Für Liebhaber...

  • Abstract:  Mit der Ablösung der D2Xs durch die D3 (für 4900 Euro) vollzieht Nikon zugleich einen Formatwechsel beim Bildsensor: Während die Profimodelle des Herstellers bislang konsequent mit einem Bildsensor im DX-Format (23,6 x 15,8 mm) bestückt waren, kommt di...

  • Abstract:  En digital systemkamera som tar utmärkta bilder. Imponerar på testarna med sin skärpa, färghantering och brusnivåer. Är dessutom relativt lättanvänd och bjuder på god ergonomi.

  • Abstract:  Nikon D3 skled gjennom autofokustestene med glans, og hadde som de fleste proffkameraer bare problemer med rask følgefokus når motivet beveget seg i lengderetningen mot kameraet. Resten av ytelsen til D3 har satt referansen for bildekvalitet heretter. Kam...

  Published: 2008-04-21, review by: Digit.no

  • Abstract:  Valget av FX fullformat er åpenbart etter påtrykk fra brukerne, slik at de kan bruke sin objektivpark fullt ut, uten å tenke på beskjæringsfaktoren, men det er nok også viktig for Nikon å markere at de ikke har tenkt å standardisere sine kameraer...
