Scott Kelby on His Nikon D3 Experience

Written by Eric Reagan on September 26th, 2007 | 0 Comments


Scott Kelby has given his impression of some FAQs after using the Nikon D3 in the field for a few days:

Q. Is the D3 really usable at very high ISO (6400 and more), as promised in the advertisements?
A. I didn’t actually try it at higher than 6400 ISO, but the test shots I took at 6400 ISO were absolutely usable. In fact, they were shockingly usable, and I think you’ll see working pros shooting at 6400 ISO with the D3. When you zoom in, you can definitely see noise, so it’s by no means “noise free,” but the amount of noise at 6400 ISO was dramatically less that I would have expected. In reality, I don’t know how often any of us will be shooting at 6400 ISO (but it’s nice to know that in a pinch; you can), but I can say with certainly that on the D3 I would shoot at 1200 ISO without hesitation.

Head on over to Scott’s blog to get the rest from the horse’s mouth.
