Nikon D3s 12.1 Megapixel Digital SLR Reviews Roundup

Nikon D3S camera can support a base ISO sensitivity range from ISO 200 to a remarkable 12,800. You can also select expanded sensitivity settings of ISO equivalent 25,600, ISO equivalent 51,200 and an incredible ISO equivalent sensitivity of 102,400 which reveals detail in extreme low-light environments. In addition, a setting of ISO equivalent 100 is provided. You would expect the new Nikon D3S can be used to capture videos in the dark, and that's what the following video sets out to show. 

In additions to low-light ability & HD movie support, the camera also adds the extra benefit of an Image Sensor Cleaning function to reduce instances of image degradation resulting from dust accumulation on the optical low pass filter (OLPF) in front of the image sensor. The OLPF oscillates at four specific frequencies to release particles that would disrupt image quality. Sensor Cleaning can be set by the user to cycle automatically when the camera is powered on, turned off, or on demand. The camera is capable to capture images at 9 frames per second (fps) in the FX-format or at up to 11 fps in the DX crop mode, while data is transferred through a 16-bit pipeline for optimal processing speed. Files can also be captured in either 12- or 14-bit compressed or uncompressed formats to maintain the images data integrity. Photographers can also select the new 1.2x crop mode for a modest telephoto effect, while minimally impacting resolution, as photos are captured at approximately 8.4 megapixels (9 fps). The Nikon D3S DSLR is scheduled to be available at Nikon Authorized dealers beginning in late November 2009 at an estimated selling price of $5,199.95.

The Nikon D3S DSLR is scheduled to be available at Nikon Authorized dealers beginning in late November 2009 at an estimated selling price of $5,199.95. At full resolution the camera can shoot at up to five frames per second. When you reduce the resolution to 10.5 megapixels shooting speeds increase to a maximum of seven frames per second. Image files can be recorded as TIFF, JPEG or NEF (RAW) formats. Advanced focusing techniques are covered by 51 AF points, 15 cross type sensors and 36 horizontal sensors that track and lock onto moving subjects. In Live View mode you can zoom in up to 27x to check focusing is perfect. The camera body is made from a magnesium alloy.
