Nikon Câmera SLR Digital D3S (Corpo de Câmera)

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

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.

Well I've only had my D3s a couple days and I love it already It blows my D200 away .I have not done any weddings with it but i'm sure it will shine .I went by a flag football game then day I got it I said what the heck why not test it out and the speed of it is amazing I got some good shot of a kid running a touchdown .I was not really not sure if I should wait for the D4 and I'm glad I did not because who knows how long it will take for that to come out and the price a bird in the hand you know .Well like I said I just got it and I can't wait to try it out on some landscape shots waterfalls etc .

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.

A magnificent low light camera. Amazing

This body is more then just the next in a series. It is lightyears ahead of the D2X in terms of noise suppression and autofocus.

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.

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!

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.

Night football without a flash along with indoor basketball and volleyball photography.

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

Low light, no light. Action, tranquility. Weddings, wildlife.
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.

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

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.

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

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.

The best camera that i had had.

Great low lite. Nice speed

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

Fast, accurate, wonderful in low-light and strong build. We use these mostly for wedding photography. They capture amazing images in dark churches. We also used these for landscapes on a resent trip. Although it added a bit of weight, it was worth it to see all that amazing detail and accurate color. I love using camera!

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

Our goal in getting our new cameras was to find ones with full frame sensors that worked well in low light conditions, and rarely needed a flash. With wedding photography, flash can be so intrusive and create shadows that are not appealing to look at. This camera works amazing in low light. We rarely used flash at our last wedding with this camera and the images were impeccable. There is a lot to learn with this camera in comparison to the D90, which I had before. But if you take the time to learn it you will find that this is a great camera!! Well worth every penny I spent on it. It is one of the best cameras out there.

I own both a D3X and D3S. They are completely different cameras with completely different strengths and "weaknesses". If you want superb clarity and optimal and noticeable superior images, use the D3X WITH a tripod and no higher than ISO 800 [it seems to do pretty well at ISO 1250 but why push it].

The D3S is superb for in a house with natural [i.e. illumination such as fluorescents or incandescent bulbs] lighting. Same is true for relatively high contrast outside shots at high ISOs. Where I find the D3S sinks like a rock is low contrast shots. The images look pasty and have the sharpness of a painted image. But - if you shoot a Snowy Egret at ISO 6400 [maybe higher] in a stream with dark pools, the D3S will blow your socks off.

I'm keeping this review short. This is just my opinion and results may vary according to other users. Oh, one other thing, if you think you need a 30 X 40 print to see the difference in quality of an image shot with the D3X, versus lesser megapixel cameras [if you follow what I said at the beginning re tripod and an immobile subject] you're in for a pleasant surprise. The images on my 27 inch iMac calibrated monitor are clearly superior to any other Nikon DSLR I've ever shot photos with. Period. Yes, size matters and 24 MP shines!!
