December 12th, 2010 | Author: admin
Nikon cameras have legendary status. Over the years, they have established a reputation as precise and easy-to-use cameras in tough cases. There is a model to satisfy all levels of hobby enthusiasts as well as dedicated pros. The Nikon digital offering expands that reputation and the DSLR models are at the top of the top. The fast Nikon D3S makes it easy to shoot sporting events with skill and assurance.
The Nikon D3 model was first released in August 2007. The D3S is part of that series, designed for sports or fast action enthusiast. The D3S can be found priced at a deep discount to the Nikon D3X top-of-range model.
The Nikon D3 was its first digital camera with an image sensor sized at 24 mm x 36mm, the same size as 35mm film. Nikon dubbed this sized sensor its FX, meaning full-frame, format. The D3S comes with a CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semi-conductor) 12.1 megapixel image sensor. It produces rich resolution images with an dynamically optimized pixel count and size. Generally, an image sensor is an integral part of the digitization process, converting optical still images into electric signals.
The D3S has a powerful continuous shooting capability, shooting up to 9 frames per second. It can snap-freeze a split second with exact precision and clarity. To support this massive continuous shooting, there is an expanded buffer, allowing as many as 82 JPEG or up to 36 NEF 14-bit (RAW) images.
The D3S has a one button setting allowing live view with 2 shooting modes. The 2 modes are appropriate for either remote or studio shoots. The tripod mode allows maximum magnification of 27x, including exact focus confirmation, allowing images of the smallest of small subjects.
The camera has a three inch, super-density, 921,000-dot VGA LCD monitor with individual factory calibration that assures the color accuracy of the monitor. With the D3S, it really is a case of what you see (in the monitor) is what you will get in the final image.
There is a fast, accurate 51-point auto focus system that operates in four dynamic modes with 15 cross type sensors. This feature allows high focusing precision and a razor sharpness that has to be seen to be believed.
The D3S is powerful and a pleasure to handle. The fast Nikon D3S makes it easy to shoot sporting events really does take the pain out of freezing time.
