Nikon D3S Review

It doesn't include a higher-resolution sensor -- it's still 12.1 megapixels -- and its controls are nearly identical to the D3, but the Nikon D3S does include two major improvements that make this professional digital SLR worth considering: better high ISO performance and HD video capability. The D3 broke new ground in low-light photography, but the Nikon D3S takes it even further with a sensor...

Nikon D3S Review

The Nikon D3S is the best low-light camera ever - period. Offering an incredible ISO range of 100 to 102,400, you really can use the D3S hand-held in the dimmest of lighting conditions, for both still images and 720p video. Pros will also love the 51-point AF module, 9-fps continuous shooting speed, large high-resolution LCD screen and weatherproofed body. Which is just as well - as they're...

Nikon D3S DSLR

As a still camera, the Nikon D3S receives a whole-hearted recommendation. It's great for professional photographers looking for a top level camera that thrives in a variety of difficult shooting situations. As a stand-alone video camera, the D3S is difficult to justify. While the quality of the video is good, it doesn't have enough features to make this latest Nikon effort stand out from the...
