“I really wasn’t expecting to see what I’m seeing in the results from the D3s. I have NO hesitation in recommending shooting at ISO 1600! Will I do it, I’m not that kinda shooter, did it today just to learn what the camera can do. In my mind, ISO 1600 is like ISO 400 or less on the D3. ISO 6400 on the D3s is like 1600 on the D3”
Why that? After asking Nikon he was told that the sensor in the D3s is not a tweaked version but a brand new one. Read more…
Louis Pang has written an interesting review about the Nikon D3s and the new 70-200/2.8 VRII showing some interesting high ISO pictures. The review is based on the shooting of a wedding and according to him, ISO 12800 is very good and even ISO 25600 seems to be usable!
Dpreview has posted a detailled review of the Canon EOS 7D and they are very satisfied. I quote
“The EOS 7D is an excellent addition to Canon’s range of APS-C DSLRs that is, in terms of build quality, speed of operation, ergonomics and image quality, a cut above Canon’s previous APS-C flagship, the EOS 50D. In some respects the 7D is even a better camera than the EOS 5D Mark II and a viable alternative for all those who do not want or need a camera with a full-frame sensor.”
“The Canon EOS 7D is a camera that can convince in all areas, and at its current pricing is going to be a very serious competitor for Nikon’s flagship APS-C DSLR, the D300S”
