Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Nikon D3 12.1MP FX Digital SLR Camera (Body Only)
Customer Review: Nikon D3 audio recording capability, Live View, 28-300mm lens
Summary: 5 Stars
I rarely see anyone mention one important benefit of the D3 as compared to the D300: the ability to easily record audio .wav file memos at the push of a button. For anyone who would like a quick and easy way to include a note to go along with a photo that's just been shot (for example, the name and title of the person being photographed), or perhaps record some audio to go along with the subject of the photos (like the music from a carousel being shot), this neat feature can't be beat. I first had it on my D100, thanks to the optional base that also doubles the battery capacity. The optional base for the D200 and D300 do not have that audio recording capability, so that omission was a significant factor in my decision to buy a D2X instead when I was ready for a better camera than my D100. As they say, "try it, you'll like it." I still use my D100 and D2X when I don't want to change lenses in the field, but the D3 is way better. The low light capability is incredible and the "Live View" feature is great when I need to hold my camera over people's heads and still be able to see what I'm about to shoot. I can't wait to see what Nikon brings out to replace the D3! One thing I would like Nikon to do is bring out an equivalent to Tamron's very useful 28-300mm, non-DX compact zoom lens (so yes, it works well with the D3). When I have to travel light, that lens just can't be beat. I've been happily using it since I bought it back when I only had my D100 and needed to stick to a tight budget. The story I keep getting from Nikon vendors and reps alike is that if Nikon made it, it would be way too expensive. Really? Since when did price stop people from buying Nikon lenses? Maybe if enough people ask for it Nikon will eventually make it...Customer Review: nikon d3

Excelent camera, just did my first weding with the camera and the photos are great. Great color quality and very low noise at high iso.Customer Review: The Nikon D3 is a superb piece of equipment
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a "serious enthusiast" of photography for many years as well as a graduate of the NYU film school. I made the transition from 35mm (Canon FT and Nikon N90S) to digital very gradually..A Canon Elf to the G7 and now the D3. The quality of its construction, feel, and the great full frame format using all my old Nikon lenses made me rediscover what I love about still photography. (yeah, I know I could have gone cheaper, but I'm not sorry I spent the money). The low light capability and amazing FPS rate more than live up to their reputation.Customer Review: Don't Wait - Get it Now

Own a D200, just got my D3. Can't help but wonder why it took Nikon so long. Well, maybe not, Nikon did this one right. This camera [...]. It has all the goodies and delivers on que exactly what you see. Great investment; it will use my FX lenses along with my DX lenses. So I didn't waste my money on the DX camera and lenses. GO NIKON !!!!! Customer Review: Best Nikon Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
Had it a week, the ability to shoot at ISO 6400 without noise means goodbye to flash. All my old manual Nikon
lenses work better on this camera than they ever did before on ones which shot film. Probably because the camera corrects the mistakes I make.
The colors are also wonderful. I like them vivid, and the D3 delivers. The dynamic lighting which tones down the
highlights and brings out the shadows without messing up to colors is also great.
I would recommend this camera to anyone who has the bucks, otherwise the D300 is nearly as good for less
than half, if you don't mind DX format.
