Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Nikon D3 12.1MP FX Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)

Customer Review: Simply the best!
Summary: 5 Stars

This camera is simply the best Full Frame DSLR in the market........... Unprecedented speed, flexibility and low noise level are just one of the features no other DSLR could beat!!! This camera is ready for whatever shooting condition there is......It's simply the best! Enough said!

Customer Review: You are a fool if you do not buy this, especially at this price! The Best!
Summary: 5 Stars

Had, have many cameras, Nikon, Canon, Hassleblad, Olympus...This is the best since my old F100. Forgiving, fast, accurate, versatile. If you only have one camera, this should be it...If you have more than one camera, this is the one you will use, and the others will gather dust.

Customer Review: Move over Cannon, Nikon is the new King!
Summary: 5 Stars

Yes, it's expensive. Yes it's heavy. Yes, it's unbelievable! If you make your living as a photographer this is the camera for you. You can get a very good image in almost total darkness! The images that you get with this camera are fantastic. If you can't afford the five grand, get the D300, it's almost the same camera at less then half the price. I know I own both, and use both. As great as the D300 is, the D3 is even more so. It's like driving a Mercedes Benz as opposed to a Bentley! If you want all the technical reviews and specs go to the Nikon web site. I am a professional photographer and make my living with a camera. I have it pressed to my face all day long. The D3 makes my day easier. I use the D300 as my back up camera. Cannon has finally been out classed by Nikon. What took Nikon so long?

Customer Review: Wonderfully worth it
Summary: 5 Stars

If you are a professional photographer, you will find many things to love about this camera. Audio annotation. Multiple card slots. Easy bracketing control and continuous shutter (great for on the fly HDR). Great image quality. Best ever ISO sensitivity.

I work in conditions that are often low-light and this camera is great at providing low-noise images at extremely sensitive settings. So much to love, but the price!

Customer Review: Nikon D3 audio recording capability, Live View, 28-300mm lens
Summary: 5 Stars

I rarely see anyone mention one important benefit of the D3 as compared to the D300: the ability to easily record audio .wav file memos at the push of a button. For anyone who would like a quick and easy way to include a note to go along with a photo that's just been shot (for example, the name and title of the person being photographed), or perhaps record some audio to go along with the subject of the photos (like the music from a carousel being shot), this neat feature can't be beat. I first had it on my D100, thanks to the optional base that also doubles the battery capacity. The optional base for the D200 and D300 do not have that audio recording capability, so that omission was a significant factor in my decision to buy a D2X instead when I was ready for a better camera than my D100. As they say, "try it, you'll like it." I still use my D100 and D2X when I don't want to change lenses in the field, but the D3 is way better. The low light capability is incredible and the "Live View" feature is great when I need to hold my camera over people's heads and still be able to see what I'm about to shoot. I can't wait to see what Nikon brings out to replace the D3! One thing I would like Nikon to do is bring out an equivalent to Tamron's very useful 28-300mm, non-DX compact zoom lens (so yes, it works well with the D3). When I have to travel light, that lens just can't be beat. I've been happily using it since I bought it back when I only had my D100 and needed to stick to a tight budget. The story I keep getting from Nikon vendors and reps alike is that if Nikon made it, it would be way too expensive. Really? Since when did price stop people from buying Nikon lenses? Maybe if enough people ask for it Nikon will eventually make it...
