Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Nikon D3 12.1MP FX Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
Customer Review: D3
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an awesome camera. Color is rich and details are sharp. Two Card slots for memory is cool...Customer Review: Nikon D3 Digital Camera Gets Top Rating
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using the D3 for several months now. It is arguably the best camera Nikon has ever made.
Image quality is superb, and the balance between sensor resolution and noise control is near-perfect. Ergonomics are the best of any camera body I've used, quick and intuitive.
One company (DXO) has published test results for image quality among digital cameras and rated this camera very highly.
Autofocus is greatly improved, as is the on-camera flash control system. The SB 900 flash, by the way, is a world-class tool that can easily replace studio strobes in many applications.
Battery life is so good I sometimes forget to charge them up.
Overall, the Nikon D3 camera is pretty much a must-have for serious photographers - with the prices coming down, it just makes sense.
Customer Review: It's a Nikon...need I say more???
Summary: 5 Stars
There is little I can say that will do this camera justice. Simply stated, it's the camera to end all cameras. Being a 20-year experienced amateur photo hound, there isn't anything I would change about this camera. What I like most is the max 1/8000th sec shutter speed and 6400+ ASA/ISO equivalent film speed. You can let the camera do everything....OR....YOU can do EVERYTHING....or anywhere in between. I've had this camera for about a month now, and I've already sold some of my work with it to Cycle Magazine. It's pricey, but if you want complete freedom to do what you want, this is the camera to have. Combine the selection of lenses with the available accessories, there is literally NOTHING you CAN'T do!!! Customer Review: d-3 great-where it came from not so
Summary: 4 Stars
The D-3 Nikon has been great. The thing I'm concerned about was the box had been opened, the camera seemed to have been used and strap was missing. Although Amazon was able to correct the problem of the strap quite quickly and the camera seems to be fine, we are talking about a $5000.00 camera, somebody should have checked....Thanks....Rob Mueller.Customer Review: amazing DSLR
Summary: 5 Stars
Used my D3 for 8 months now and couldn't be happier. This camera is an amazing piece of technology.
Bought my first film camera, Canon F-1 in 1985, shot thousands of pics on film and slide. Four years ago I bought my first DSLR, Fuji S7000, shot thousands of pics with it. Then I made the giant leap to Nikon D3. WOW! This camera is in a league all its own.
Performs even better than expected. The array of custom settings boggles the mind. After shooting over a thousand images I'm still learning about its potential.
Perhaps the most useful function to me is the ability to shoot in low ambient light without flash by setting the ISO to 6400. Unbelievable images with little perceptable noise. Full-frame composition is also important to me. White balance control, especially the preset function, is a godsend.
All the controls are well placed and within easy reach, even for a person like me with medium-sized hands. The body with any fast f/2.8 lens attached has presence and heft. Ergonomics are very comfortable. I can shoot all day without stress or fatigue. A neoprene neck strap vs the supplied strap helps alot.
The software is useful, and mine came with Corel Paint Pro 9, a very good image editor.
I could go on and on about all the marvelous attributes this DSLR has to offer, but let me just say this... until Nikon produces another DSLR with any significant improvements over the D3 this is probably my last camera purchase. If you can afford the body, a couple fast prime lenses and a zoom, then you'll thank yourself over and over, well after the CC is paid off. Nuff said.
