ISO sensitivity can be expanded on the Nikon D3s from Lo 1 (ISO 100 equivalent) up to Hi 3 (ISO 102400 equivalent), making a significant difference in extremely low-lit shooting scenarios and other situations where faster shutter speeds or more depth of field is required. Read more

Nikon D5000 Hands-On first Impressions

Topic:

Nikon launched the Nikon D5000 DSLR camera today.
PhotographyBlog got some hands-on time with the D5000 at the UK launch event. They could not shoot any photos with the D5000 as it was still a pre-production model.
They have published 22 photos of the D5000 though. Their initial take is rather positive. The D5000 handles like the D90. The missing auto focus in the video mode is still an issue that prevents this DSLR from being a real video camera. Read more

Nikon D90 DSLR Review

Topic:

Our review partner Digital Trends tested the new Nikon D90 DSLR. The Nikon D90 is already one of our Top 100 Holiday Gadget Gift Tips. This review confirms this choice.
Quote from the review: "Who would've thought? Nikon, a decidedly still image capture company, was the first to design a D-SLR that takes high-definition video. Until now, no D-SLR could capture video of any type unlike point-and-shoot digicams which have taken clips for years. This breakthrough is pretty startling. One would've thought Sony or Panasonic-true video outfits-would have blazed this trail but it was venerable Nikon of 35mm film fame. Read more

Nikon D700 Review

Topic:

DPReview published an in-depth review of the Nikon D700 DSLR camera.
Quote from the review: "The imaging side of the D700 is pretty much the same as the D3; it shares the acclaimed 12.1MP full frame ('FX') sensor and has the same processing engine, so we would presume output to be almost identical. The main differences (aside from being considerably smaller) are physical; there's a different shutter (good for 150,000 exposures rather than 300,000 on the D3), different viewfinder prism (with 95% coverage) and a slower burst rate.
