Will your current CompactFlash cards be sufficient for the new Nikon flagship? Matjaž Intihar did a interesting test with the D3 and CompactFlash cards:
“Other than that, the only real disappointment is the SanDisk Extreme III. While it’s a perfectly good card, it’s just too expensive for the speed it provides.
…
So – buy whatever you need, but if you’re buying the Nikon D3 or either one of Canon’s Mk IIIs – go for the Extreme IV, it’s the only card that’s fast enough for these cameras. “
I found another interivew on Youtube about the Nikon D3 and they two key phrases for me are:
“Shooting in available darkness“
and
“The autofocus capabilities surpass the D2Xs“
But watch yourself…
According to this thread at Dpreview Nikon is still optimizing the D300 firmware and we will have to wait further two weeks until we see high ISO images made with the D300 on Nikons site. If this it true, I wonder if they will keep their shipment shedule…
BTW, for all those still hungry for samples from the D3, this thread also contains a picture made with the D3 at ISO1600.
