Nikon D3 Professional Reviews

•  photo.net Review the Nikon D3 and gave out”At the same time Nikon introduced the D3, they also announced the Nikon D300, $1700 (review), which is a DX-sensor DSLR to demonstrate that Nikon will continue to support both formats. The D300 shares the same AF module as the D3 but is a step behind as far as ruggedness and high-ISO performance. However, at about one-third of the cost of a D3, the D300 is very much a viable alternative and provides better value for the money. In particular, for those long-lens users who prefer more reach, the D300’s DX format is a plus.“

• asia.cnet Review the Nikon D3 and gave out”The D3’s new Multi-CAM 3500FX auto focus module also seems to be more spirited compared with the D2Xs’ Multi-CAM 2000 module. In short, you will not find the camera to be the cause of your misses.In terms of the body, the D3 hasn’t really changed much from those of the D2Xs or D2Hs. Most of the slight cosmetic changes have been done to make room for the new larger LCD screen. If you’re used to the D2Xs or D2Hs bodies, there isn’t much of a learning curve, except for the AF-On button on the vertical grip–it has now shifted to a higher location.“

• popphoto Review the Nikon D3 and gave out”A unique virtual horizon indicator appears aircraft-style during live view, and even shows up in the optical viewfinder. While it’s useful in some situations, we found other features far more appealing. Among our favorites: HDMI output that allows you to play back images in HDTV resolution, and the remote control and live view on a computer using supplied software. That’s something any pro, whether in the studio or on location, will find useful, if not indispensable.“

• photographyblog Review the Nikon D3 and gave out”with a D3 you get a camera with the best bits of its D2Xs and D2H predecessors without having to buy both. That said, the DSLR’s heft with lens attached means that it’s not the one you’ll want to be lugging around with you all day firing off holiday snaps, the D300 a sensible alternative if you don’t feel the need for speed or (obviously) full frame capture. But the fact that the Nikon D3 is (currently) pretty much peerless means this is a rare occasion of a camera deserving the full compliment of review stars.“
