Digital camera reviews of Nikon D3 12.1MP FX Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
Digital camera Review: A little history...
Summary: 5 Stars
In the cold dawn of digital cameras we all wondered if they would ever be comparable to film. Silver film had 3-6 logs of latitude, thinner emulsions, and developers, had progressed to a gidy point of sensitivity and resolution so it seemed as though the 1-3m pixel chips would never catch up. But then there was the same discussion about medium format or God help us, 4X5 and greater. The quality of images HAS suffered by Oskar Barnack's gadget, but the number of high quality images from what ever digital domain they escaped has made life communicating by pictures far more satisfying.
Of course they still havent produced comparable chips to a piece of film, but the offerings are so sophisticated and so easily manipulated I wonder if we will or should see the full size 60meg card of our dreams. The D3 should reduce the cravings by offering a maleable tool that fits into taking pictures with never whimper.
Nikon in the US is a pesky source if you need real facts about photography. One of their hello girls informed me that T mount adapters wont work on Nikons. But with the D3, it would be unlikely that you need the help. Its just so civilized, or refined, or friendly or...
If you make a living from your images, this camera is too cheap to pass up.
