@domclaudevandamme those who want large prints, obviously

Why do so many ignoramuses feel the need to comment on these clips, for no other reason than showing off how vulgar and ignorant they really are!?

I always enjoy WDC reviews, been eying up used D3 models lately and it’s great that these reviews are always here to check up on.

Why do you have all those cameras, and your video is in SD resolution??

@SecretMisery haha megapixel myth mate, 10 megapixel D40 can print 45×30, megapixels in the end don’t really matter as much as you think.

@Aeris365 Nice!

Xyb3rTeCh on February 5th, 2011, 2:25 pm

@Aeris365 nikon said to have 45 af points but only 15 of them its crosstype. you need crosstype sensors to ensure sharp tack focusing shoots. hence, the cnaon 1dmk4 with 39 crosstype would ensure every shoots is sharp tack

Aeris365 on February 5th, 2011, 2:46 pm

@KamikazeKoscki got mine @ $3200

Aeris365 on February 5th, 2011, 2:54 pm

@Xyb3rTeCh are those what you need to become a pro? Damn… Ansel, Avedon, Cartier must have sucked…

Xyb3rTeCh on February 5th, 2011, 3:48 pm

canon kick ass nikon’s shit… nikon only had 15 crosstype AF sensor. while the canon had more, 39 crosstype AF sensor on the 1dmk4

Nice review thx

domclaudevandamme on February 5th, 2011, 4:39 pm

who the fuck cares about megapixels?

ulrichred on February 5th, 2011, 5:23 pm

Nigel is the Jeremy Clarkson of cameras in the sense that both love their subjects, you can tell by the way the talk is not just technique.

Nikon D3 Digital SLR Camera – Body Only
12.1MP, 4256×2832, CompactFlash/Microdrive Card Slot – MPN: 25434
As low as $4,285.00 from goldenprice Rated out of 10 reviews

Description: The 12.1 effective megapixel D3 SLR Digital Camera features Nikon’s FX-format CMOS sensor, measuring 23.9 x 36mm, which is nearly identical to the size of 35mm film. With the fastest startup time, shortest viewfinder blackout time, and shortest shutter lag of any digital SLR..

yes. but trying to imagine what that crop is going to look like, and then actually cropping it (whilst wasting space on your card for all the extra image you won’t need) as well as not being able to use a DX lens if you need to, is a bit of a pain in the arse.

Then again if you’re spending £4000 why would you bother with APS?

mclaurin10 on February 5th, 2011, 6:42 pm

so your old DX lenses work on the new Film FX sensor

DemonicGenocide on February 5th, 2011, 7:11 pm

Got mine in the post this morning. I havn’t had chance to test it in the field yet but I’ve been messing about in doors and the low light shots are fantastic!!! If they ever manage to improve on this we wont be needing flashguns anymore lol. Awesome camera!

ptrefftz on February 5th, 2011, 8:04 pm

If you have a 300mm lens on the camera, why would you turn the APS mode on to get a ’450mm’ lens? couldn’t you just crop the image from full frame?

Guapwong on February 5th, 2011, 8:17 pm

Thanks for correctly pronouncing the word Nikon!

perth45 on February 5th, 2011, 9:01 pm

rose4usagi….thanks….it happened loads of times and I thought oh no…I’ve got a rogue camera here…especially as the 35-70 zoom lens WAS faulty and had to go back….but you are RIGHT…it WAS the bottom shutter………..

rose4usagi on February 5th, 2011, 9:02 pm

have you checked the bottom shutter button? IT was my problem for a week, I couldn’t understand why it takes photo by itself. then I notice that the bottom shutter button is activated as well. :)
