Nikon D3 Reviews
You don’t need the stars to line up to find a Nikon D3 anymore. It has been quite some time for users to get used to the beast, we have seen the reviews tricking by. Here is a collection of a few sensible reviews from qualified people from around world wide web.
Bjørn Rørslett’s
“The ability to shoot under adverse light situations without resorting to the use of a mood-killing flash is perhaps one of the most important characteristics of the D3 concept. As such, it is bound to influence the approaches we follow in our day-to-day handling of photography challenges. Will this also constitute a true paradigm shifting contemporary photography? It’s early days yet so I wouldn’t draw the definite conclusion on this issue just now. But it might well be the case.”

“A friend once said to me that Canons are the best cameras available designed by engineers, and that Nikons are the best cameras one can buy designed by photographers.”

“the real joy is that my closet of lenses acquired from the film days now works pretty much the way they were designed.”

Dpreview.com - Phil Askey
“The D3’s new high resolution VGA screen (shared with the D300) really is a revelation, having a very fine pixel pitch means you don’t see any gaps and that makes for both very detailed but also surprisingly smooth gradations in flat areas of the image”

Think Camera - Jonathan Ryan
“Is the Nikon D3 the best digital SLR Nikon have ever made? Oh yes… By a country mile. But is it better than the 1DS Mk III?”

Richard Costin
“When paired with the 200-400 I feel this now represents one of the best combination for wildlife photography that has ever been available.”
