Ultimate high ISO sample with Nikon D3

Dave Black Ice Hockey ISO6400

These Nikon D3 images are from nikon usa press release. These photographs are taken by Joe McNally, Mike Corrado and Dave Black. Subjects range for portraits to wildlife to macro to sports. Exposure, lens, and format data is included. ISO range from 200 to 6400. The images look very good, it seems like the hype was not hype at all. It looks like Nikon D3 delivers. This camera will allow a photographer to shoot many of the images we only dreamed of. What really jumps out at me is the amount of detail. I think that is what will seperate the Nikon D3 from some of the other cameras that shoot at high ISO. One of the shot (fire fighter) was taken at aperture f16, which on a 12 MP FX sensor shows little, if any diffraction. The large pixels of the sensor bring out the best in any lens, what little fall from optimum will not be noticed unless you do a 100% pixel peep with the same subject, same camera-lens, just change the f stop. It is a great photo, lots of detail if you care to look. At the higher ISO’s it seems to beat the Canon 5D by 1 1/2 stops. This camera’s definitely a landmark in the clean high iso battle. more
