I recently switched systems to Nikon & am amazed by the IQ & ISO performance of this camera. i used to be a canon man, using a 1d mk3, 70-200 2.8 & a 17-40 f4, 24-70 2.8, most of my pap work colleges used nikon d3, etc. Hired a D3s for a week and wanted to compare it to my existing D3.

First, I must mention that if any of the information below seems like Greek jargon, this high-priced camera may not be what you are looking for. The Nikon D3 is an amazing camera, especially for sports photography. The D3 produces photos at ISO 6,400 with noise comparable to ISO 400.

Top of its class The Nikon D3s is the newest flagship Nikon DSLR on the market (at the time of writing.

Having owned quite a few Nikon dSLRs, from D1H to the D3, I am delighted with the D3s. It improves on the D3 in so many areas. Magn�fica c�mara. S�lida construcci�n, manejo intuitivo, visor excelente, velocidad incre�ble... Pero, como era de esperar.

Something special comes along. I know there is probably no such thing as as Dud D-SLR, but this one is top of-the-heap.

Scared out of my mind, a couple weeks ago I sold $10,000 Canon equipment to get this camera and switch to Nikon.

Full description

The D3S's large prism gives you the FXformat visual advantage when you shoot. The viewfinder image is not only large and bright, but the focusing screen is also carefully designed to help you to intuitively sense sharp focus, be it manual or autofocus. For the reliability professionals' demand, the shutter of the D3S has been tested for 300,000 cycles. And to ensure rigorous real-world conditions, the testing is always performed on fully assembled cameras. Minimizes mirror bounce and extends viewing time, which allows more time for AF operation - one reason why the D3S can offer autofocus and focus tracking even at high-speed continuous shooting.
