Imagine a pro-level DSLR containing an imaging sensor 7 times more sensitive to low-level light than the human eye. Imagine if this camera can also capture high-definition live-action stills at up to 9 frames-per-second or 720 HD video at 24 frames-per-second (with stereo sound) under the lowest of lighting conditions. The Nikon D3S (Body Only) is such a camera. Constructed to the same precision high-performance standards as its predecessor, the Nikon D3, the D3S is designed to meet the convergent technological needs and demands of professional shooters under the most extreme of low-light shooting conditions.

The D3S is ruggedly constructed of weatherproof, silicon-sealed magnesium-alloy components and contains a re-engineered 12.1-megapixel FX-format (full-frame, 23.9 x 36mm) CMOS sensor capable of producing still images and HD video at ISO levels up 102,400. The D3S captures JPEG, RAW, RAW+JPEG, or TIFF image files at up to 9 frames-per-second in FX-format, or 11 frames-per-second when shooting in DX-mode. The buffer is equally impressive and can handle up to 42 RAW files or 130 large JPEGs.

The D3S's all-glass optical viewing system offers bright, 100% viewing through the viewfinder. You also have the option of composing and editing images in Live View mode using the camera's 3", 920,000-dot LCD. Along with a wide selection of exposure, tonal, and color controls, the D3S also offers advanced D-Lighting for maximum shadow and highlight details in stills, a D-Movie mode for similar image optimization when shooting video, advanced chromatic aberration reduction controls, and in-camera RAW file processing. To keep image files clean from the moment of capture, an advanced Dust Reduction System helps keep errant dust particles out and away from the image path.

To keep up with the action, the D3S contains dual CompactFlash (CF) slots and can capture up to 4200 exposures per battery charge. And like its predecessor, the Nikon D3S is compatible with a vast selection of Nikon lenses the enable you to take sharp, dramatic imagery regardless of where the job takes you.

Faixa ISO de 200 a 12800, Expansível a ISO 102.400 (Hi 3)
Fotógrafos profissionais agora podem ter ISO 200 a ISO 12800 como o padrão profissional de qualidade de imagem para suas tarefas para uma vantagem incrível ao fotografar esportes em ambientes internos, eventos em estádio a noite ou qualquer outra situação fotográfica com luz limitada e quando os Speedlights não forem práticos. Fotografando com ISOs de 12.800, a D3S pode tirar fotos nítidas com qualidade comercial em pouca luz com velocidades de obturador que congelam a ação, uma capacidade que abre um novo mundo de oportunidades fotográficas. Quando necessário, a D3S expande para o incrível equivalente ISO de 102.400, revelando cores e detalhes até em locais pouco iluminados onde os olhos humanos podem ter dificuldade em discernir objetos. Essa excepcional performance de baixo ruído também se aplica a captura D-Movie, que cria novo potencial para projetos multimídia.
Funcionalidade D-Movie Aprimorada
Desde cenas bem iluminadas até situações com pouquíssima luz, o modo D-Movie da D3S oferece versatilidade exclusiva. Um modo D-Movie aprimorado oferece filmes Motion-JPEG de qualidade HD (1.280 x 720 pixels) a 24 qps. Ao controlar a abertura desde o maior até o menor f-stop, o sensor formato FX grande produz imagens com pouco ruído com lindo 'bokeh' com uma ampla gama de lentes Nikkor. O modo Filme de Alta Sensibilidade permite aos usuários fotografar até um equivalente ISO de 102.400 nas condições menos iluminadas. O material D-Movie é fácil de ajustar na câmera selecionando o ponto inicial e o ponto final. Um bônus extra para fotógrafos de esportes e notícias é a capacidade de salvar os quadros de filme selecionados como JPEGs para necessidades imediatas de impressão e publicação na web. A D3S possui um microfone mono interno e uma entrada de microfone estéreo externa, permitindo gravação de áudio de maior fidelidade.
Sensor CMOS Formato FX Grande de 12.1 Megapixels "Pixel Pitched"
O sensor de imagem da D3S foi completamente reprojetado com relação a D3; a estrutura interna foi otimizada, com o número de pixels e grande "pixel pitch" mantido para ainda maior latitude em alta performance ISO. Como resultado disso, a D3S captura e rederiza a luz de formas que nenhuma câmera SLR digital comum já conseguiu, com uma relação sinal-ruído significativamente maior e uma ampla faixa dinâmica para qualidade de imagem incomparável para fotografias e filmes por todas as capacidades de sensibilidade ISO ampliadas.
Avançado Sistema de Limpeza de Sensor de Imagem
Uma outra melhoria significativa com relação a D3 é o emprego da função de Limpeza de Sensor de Imagem, que gera vibrações em 4 frequências específicas para otimizar a remoção de poeira. Essa função pode ser configurada para operar automaticamente quando a câmera for ligada e desligada ou manualmente.
Processador de Imagem EXPEED
A abordagem rápida, abrangente e com uso eficiente de energia da Nikon a processamento de imagem na câmera mantém a rica integridade inicial dos dados através da conversão A/D de 14 bits e processamento de imagem de 16 bits, que expande as possibilidades criativas permitidas por fotografar arquivos NEF (Formato de Imagem Eletrônica Nikon). Combinado com o sensor formato FX da Nikon, a D3S produz uma faixa tonal excepcional e minimiza os saltos de tom. Os usuários podem esperar mais precisão com combinações difíceis de cor como tons de pele e vermelhos fortes no mesmo quadro, sem super-saturação e melhor gradação tonal em altas luzes, até com assunto extremamente luminoso.
Redução de Aberração Cromática Lateral Assegura Nitidez de Imagem de Ponta a Ponta
A D3S corrige problemas de cor causados por aberrações cromáticas que, em alguns casos, pode aparecer nos cantos de elementos de assunto diferentes. As aberrações cromáticas laterais são corrigidas independente do tipo de lente, seja por lentes telefoto, grande angular, sem processador ou outros tipos de lentes NIKKOR.
D-Lighting Ativa Mantém Altos Níveis de Altas Luzes e Detalhe de Sombra
D-Lighting Ativa da Nikon regula a faixa dinâmica de cenas de alto contraste, exibindo os detalhes de sombra e preservando altas luzes mantendo contraste adequado. O D3S permite aos fotógrafos escolher entre seis ajustes de D-Lighting Ativa, incluindo o recém incluído Auto e Extra Alta, além de Alta, Normal, Baixa e Desligada. Você também pode fazer bracket dos níveis de potência da D-Lighting Ativa até cinco quadros e selecionar o melhor resultado.
Funcionalidade de Controle de Imagem
O Controle de Imagem ajuda a definir a aparência de suas imagens personalizando a nitidez, saturação e outros parâmetros para atender as suas intenções criativas. A D3S vem com 4 perfis de Controle de Imagem pré-instalados, que podem ser ajustados e salvos como novos perfis de Controle de Imagem que se adequam a seu estilo fotográfico pessoal ou condições particulares de fotografia. Esses perfis podem ser facilmente copiados para outras câmeras.
Responsiva desde o Começo
A D3S otimiza a velocidade do fluxo de trabalho e a fluidez por todo o processo fotográfico. O tempo de inicialização é de aproximadamente 0,12 segundo e o atraso no tempo de liberação foi minimizado a aproximadamente 0,04 segundo, exatamente tão rápido quanto a D3, mas com um buffer de memória duas vezes maior que o da D3. Além disso, o autofoco, processamento de imagem, gravação e acesso ao cartão de memória, interface USB da D3S e transmissor sem fio opcional trabalham em conjunto para manter os fotógrafos profissionais focados. E para fotógrafos de notícias e esportes, muitos dos arquivos JPEG da D3S saem prontos para impressão com quase nenhuma ou nenhuma pós-produção: ótimo para quem tem pouco tempo.
9-fps in FX-format, 11-fps in DX Crop-format
The D3S's continuous shooting rates allows for a more steady delivery of fast continuous shooting speeds at a wide range of aperture settings enabling professionals to have greater control and fewer limitations when capturing images. With the DX crop, photographers can also add a 1.5x picture angle and a faster frame rate to their arsenal. Furthermore, the factory-installed buffer memory is twice the capacity of the D3, dramatically increasing the power of continuous shooting.
LCD de 3" e 921.000 Pontos com Ângulo de Visão de 170 Graus
O monitor LCD grande de alta resolução da D3S oferece reprodução de imagem nítida e luminosa com ampliação até 27x para confirmação de imagem precisa e imediata. Cada LCD é coberto com vidro temperado resistente a arranhão e individualmente calibrado e ajustado na fábrica para oferecer performance consistente.
Modo Live View de Fácil Acesso
O botão Live View dedicado oferece acesso instantâneo a dois modos Live View: Modo tripé para operação AF precisa e modo sem tripé para ângulos de fotografia mais versáteis. A velocidade para AF de detecção de contraste no modo Tripé também foi aprimorada para maior praticidade.
Avançado Sistema de Reconhecimento de Cena
O exclusivo sensor RGB de 1.005 pixels da Nikon lê com precisão informações de cor e luminosidade elevando a precisão geral de controle de flash AF, AE, i-TTL e balanço de branco automático graças ao Sistema de Reconhecimento de Cena da Nikon. O AF da D3S oferece incrível rastreamento de assunto e performance de identificação de assunto. A análise de altas luzes utilizada para AE reproduz a luminosidade com fidelidade para os olhos e identificação de fonte de luz torna o balanço de branco automático preciso e confiável de uma maneira única.
Autofoco de 51 Pontos
Os 51 pontos de AF estrategicamente posicionados da D3S oferecem foco mais rápido, até com movimento de assunto rápido e/ou inconstante. Os 15 sensores do tipo cruzado no centro do quadro mantêm a mesma performance incrível com qualquer lente AF NIKKOR f/5.6 ou mais rápida. Existem quatro opções de área dinâmica, incluindo 51 pontos (rastreamento 3D), que seguem precisamente seu assunto trocando os pontos de foco e usando informações de cor e brilho do Sistema de Reconhecimento de Cena. Isso oferece aos usuários uma vantagem extra quando a composição for importante mas o movimento do seu assunto for extremamente inconstante. Os modos AF de Ponto Único e Área Automática também estão disponíveis.
Medição 3D Color Matrix II
A exclusiva medição 3D color matrix II da Nikon é reconhecida por sua performance incrível e resultados fiéis de exposição até em condições de iluminação complexas e imperdoáveis. A D3S leva exposição precisa mais além, usando análise de altas luzes a partir do Sistema de Reconhecimento de Cena e então seleciona com cuidado a partir do banco de dados contendo informações de mais de 30.000 situações fotográficas reais.
Balanço de Branco Automático Inteligente
Até em situações complicadas com fontes de luz variadas, a função de balanço de branco automático da D3S permite capturar cores precisas em uma ampla variedade de configurações.
100% Optical Viewfinder Coverage (Approx)
The D3S's large prism gives you the FX-format visual advantage when you shoot. The viewfinder image is not only larger and brighter, but the focusing screen is also carefully designed to help you to more intuitively sense sharp focus, be it manual or autofocus.
Durável, Resistente e Vedada Contra os Elementos
Para a confiabilidade que os profissionais exigem, o obturador da D3S foi testada para até 300.000 ciclos em câmeras sob condições rigorosas. A D3S construída de forma resistente emprega uma liga de magnésio leve e forte para seu corpo, parte externa, chassi e caixa de espelho. Além disso, uma série abrangente de O-rings e outras vedações especializadas, combinado com engenharia adiciona da Nikon, proteja a D3S contra umidade invasiva, poeira e até interferência eletromagnética.
Dois Slots de Cartão de Memória CF
A D3S permite designar cada slot de cartão para uma tarefa específica: Grava dois cartões CF cheios de dados em sequência para uma grande quantidade de armazenamento, grave os mesmos dados em dois cartões (backup), grave RAW e JPEG simultaneamente em cartões separados e transfira dados de um cartão para outro. Você também pode designar o slot para gravação D-Movie com grande volume de dados.
Até 4.200 Exposições por Carga de Bateria
A D3S usa as baterias recarregáveis EN-EL4a. Os sistemas de gerenciamento de carga e consumo de energia foram projetados para maior eficiência de operação, assim você pode esperar uma bateria de longa duração, tirando até 4.200 fotos por carga.
Modo de Liberação Silenciosa de Obturador
Os fotógrafos podem selecionar "Q" no dial de modo de liberação para reduzir substancialmente o som do movimento do espelho da câmera durante a fotografia. Isso é particularmente útil ao fotografar com restrições como ao fotografar performances no teatro ou vida selvagem.
Additional Nikon D3S Features Include
Newly added image area of 1.2x crop (30 x 20) format with approx. 8.4 megapixels.

Multiple exposure operation that can be repeated by designating the function to the bracketing button.

Electronic virtual horizon that is available in Live View shooting.

Extended menu banks that stores up to four combinations of exposure mode, shutter speed and aperture value.

Versatile in-camera Retouch Menus, including RAW processing to enhance your images without using a computer.

Compatible with HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) output. Type C connector (mini size) is employed.

With the optional GPS Unit GP-1, location information such as latitude, longitude, altitude and time are automatically recorded to each image's EXIF data. The Time Adjustment feature, which adjusts your camera's time zone, is also available using the GP-1. Especially useful for group assignments that require several D3S cameras to be synchronized.

Exclusive Nikon Software include Nikon Transfer and ViewNX software packages (supplied) for a range of basic photo browsing and editing operations; Capture NX 2, Camera Control Pro 2, and Image Authentication Software (all optional) enable more advanced operation and image editing.

        After owning this camera twice, selling it twice, trying other alternatives, I keep on coming back to this astonishing camera. The ISO performance is unbeaten, top notch in ergonomics, features, speed, AF.

        Shooting mainly for web content, the 12MP sensor has plenty of pixels to work with. I am not bothered by the next iteration of Canikon offerings, as I will stick with this body until it dies on me hundreds of thousands of shutter click later.

          I recently purchased the D3s after using the D700 for the past three years. I really hadn't seen or used the D3s, but have read great reviews. And it is a great camera, but I didn't thin there would be that much of a change in image quality from the D700, but there is. The colors seem to have more depth and detail. I love my D700 and will continue to use it, but the D3s is truly a huge leap in quality.

              Super fast focus, exposure and frame rate (in RAW) combined with stratospherically high ISO capability make this the best camera out there. This is my first full frame DSLR and the results are fantastic. It isn't cheap, but it's packed with more than enough features and quality to justify the price.

                This is an expensive purchase and I waited almost 8 months to get one but it is well worth both the price and the weight. I'm a budding professional photographer and have already seen the improvement in my photos with this camera. I also recently purchased a D700 which is a very good camera but doesn't hold a candle to the D3s.

                    It's hard to believe the difference between this and my D700. Finger tip controls are easier to operate and become second nature in a heartbeat. I shoot on the street and bracket everything. At an ISO of 1600 and shutter speed 1/500 a burst sounds like a single frame. No one notices.

                      Comments about Nikon D3S Digital SLR Camera (Body Only):

                      The D3s is the camera I'd been craving for the past few years and I'm so glad I finally purchased it. I primarily shoot weddings and the option to back-up onto a second memory card is well worth the expense over the d700 for me.

                      I'm also excited about the video, I have no intention to shoot video for clients but I like the option and flexibility.

                      I'm extremely impressed with the low light capabilities, the ease of use, the ergonomics (hand-wise, the camera is much heavier on my neck and I'll definitely be investing in a neck cushion soon). The performance at higher ISOs is incredible, and paired with the current noise reduction on lightroom I don't think low light will be a problem for me ever again.

                      The camera does require a different battery than the d700 (which I use as a back-up camera, and I've also used both at the same time during a ceremony so that I wouldn't need to switch between wide and zoom lenses, and I still love my d700). It does come with a battery charger that allows you to charge 2 batteries at once, and while I'd recommend getting a back-up the battery has lasted me through a complete wedding twice already (10+ hours).

                      I love it and I'm glad B&H got more in stock!

                      Comments about Nikon D3S Digital SLR Camera (Body Only):

                      This is my third D3S body. Its ability to capture great detail in low light is unmatched by any production DSLR on the market. I shoot sports for a number of local media outlets, and have never been sent on assignment without delivering quality pictures. Some of the gyms I shoot in are so dark, I need to crank the ISO up to about 12k, and it still does well. It still surprises me that Nikon offered this upgrade to the D3 at the same price even though it is at least 1-1.5 stops better than the D3, and included the memory upgrade that i purchased for my D3 to get the additional buffer capacity.

                          If it had any more features I wouldn't need them. Video seems a bit superfluous.

                          I like this camera. Selling the D300 and D700 and maybe even the F6

                            I use this camera to shoot fast action martial arts competitions. These are shot in indoor conditions that require fast shutter speed and these really up the demands placed on the camera. Coupled with some fast lens options, this camera just cannot be beaten. The photo quality produced is just sensational. With settings that would immobilize other cameras abilities to produce half decent photos, this camera just takes it all in its pace. With ISO topping 4000, the quality of shots are still superb. Nikon has done a wonderful job with this camera. I could not be happier with this camera and the photo results it produces.

                            This is a great camera!!! the full frame makes such a difference and especially with F1.4 or 1.8 the images look a lot better compared to a crop cam. Also, even if you currently have a crop cam, try the DX 35mm, F1.8. The lens is not really build for an FX cam but therefore gives you a beautiful vignette!
                            The results when shooting with high ISO are just perfect! You can easily take pictures with ISO 6400 and still have great results with almost no noise.

                            It's a lot of money, but it's worth it... until Nikon finally releases the D4...
                            I love to work with my SB-900 off camera and used to control it with the build in flash since it's transmits the TTL information as well. Unfortunately the D3s doesn't have one.

                            Amazing in low light. Fast. Accurate.

                            Battery cover needs to be removed to swap batteries if you don't purchase a second cover. Doesn't come with a LCD screen protector. Camera Strap seems a little flimsy for the weight of the camera. Heavy.
