The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.  | sent on May 02, 2023 Pros: for the age I would say everything Cons: the lv department and the QUAL key that can be pressed by mistake compromising the raw Opinion: after years of desire to be able to have it in his hands .. I took off the whim in 2023. Used socket with less than 50k shots. Never been happier! I have a D600 and there is an abyss! beautiful beautiful beautiful, the pro body can be seen and heard, has the right keys in the right place (except the key qual), colors shine, weight? bah I got used to it right away, it's a bit like driving an old car without power steering.. You immediately make your arms and then you no longer feel the difference, indeed when I take back the D600 I feel like I am holding a polystyrene machine. The weight then the scale, I usually use the 80/200 F2.8 and is much more stable, when I mount the same lens on the D600 is completely unbalanced forward. I would recommend her, she will be an old lady but she knows her stuff! The body and grace are those of an eighteen-year-old! Light rows, amazing ISO and a burst of fear .. Someone wrote that flagships are addictive, never sentence is more apt! Only now do I understand why it's a legendary machine and I'm proud to own one. If I really have to find a fault it is not on the camera but on the manufacturers of photographic backpacks, I have not yet been able to find one where it can fit comfortably! :) |
 | sent on January 27, 2023 Pros: Image quality, High ISO sealing, Dynamic range, Reliability, Accuracy Cons: Excessive weight and video compartment Opinion: I found this machine in early January 2023 at a good price, taken by curiosity despite the old age of the car wanted to buy obviously used, unfortunately after three weeks resold because I did not want to take too many shots since it had so many but the real reason was precisely its weight too much for what I do because I travel a lot for work. Personally I still find it excellent today I took pictures of a friend of mine on the portrait was fantastic a reality and color fidelity truly unique perhaps modern sensors have made us get used to less original colors. You feel safe, absolutely a war machine... Even more resistant than the D5 Obviously in terms of performance we are far from the D5 D6 flagships. But the D3s deserves so much and then with its 12 megapixels you can also shoot at 1/80s and not see the blur in subjects in slight movement. Useless video sector but on such cameras is not needed. Beastly Iso seal does not seem to know what noise is, you only see the chromatic one by raising the Iso to the maximum. If it weren't for the weight I would have kept it forever. |
 | sent on January 22, 2021 Pros: Construction, controls in the right place, high iso seal, usability in all or almost all situations Cons: at the moment I don't see any Opinion: In the end after so many hesitations and also going against the current to certain tips I took it.... just over 200K shots and the first impression coming from D600 bhe other music. The construction as I expected it solid without compromising buttons in position for me absolutely perfect. The 12Mpx that scared me at first are absolutely not a problem and it is a machine that teaches you to photograph without thinking too much about crop in post. For now I have done only a few thousand shots and I still have to deepen the knowledge of all the peculiarities for me that I am not a professional is the top for now. |
  | sent on January 13, 2021 Pros: Image quality and raw workability, HIGH ISO seal, AF, white balance, double slot, battery life, general ergonomics, viewfinder, construction Cons: Weight and size, HD-only video, Quiet shot not really quiet Opinion: In contrast to the current scenario in 2021 I decided to continue to stay on reflex and buy this body replacing the trust d700, more than I expected the machine I find very current, for me the 12mpx were never a problem and considering the investment on the af-d series optics are the right ones for this format; the ergonomics of the machine are not discussed, the precise af, white balance and perfect exposure already in the car, perhaps on the landscape photography sins in recoveries not being invariant iso sensor and with only 12 env; the files are very similar to what I was already working on d700, in post there is little to fix with the advantage of high iso seal up to 12800 usable (more than I hoped); in short, she is a nikon flagship and there is little to do, as far as the council is today strongly. |
| sent on August 22, 2020 Pros: Solidity, ergonomics, ISO sealing, tropicalization, efficiency, reliability, battery life, completeness of functions Cons: Weight, footprint, display, closes the shadows a bit, lacks eye focus, 12 Mp, live view, video Opinion: Writing in 2020 a small opinion on a machine body that saw birth in 2009 is ungenerous. On the other hand, it must be said that despite the numerous moons that have marked the life of this model, its performance is completely current and they do not have much to envy to the most powerful and current offers of the market (as far as I am concerned only the eye focus function, which is not indispensable). The body weighs but is of an impressive solidity. The lenses would weigh anyway, so it's not a real limit. The clutter, compared to an ML is sensitive, but thanks to the generous size of the machine body it is easily held and without creating fatigue for the hand, especially for those, like me, who use very little shoulder strap. Fingers are always relaxed and do not feel fatigue. The controls are at your fingertips. Hardly there is a need to enter the menus to set the machine. All very fast and clear. Excellent ISO sealing and with new noise processing programs, it's even mind-blowing. Great predictive pursuit and more than good the speed of the burst. The image quality, despite the 12 Mp is excellent, even in case of decisive cuts (I have never printed large formats like A1). It tends to close the shadows, but when you know it, you handle it without any problems. A lady who despite her age still has a lot to say and does not yet suffer the passage of time. Not suitable for those who are attracted by the lightness and reduced size of modern machine bodies, perfect for those who want a camera of great substance, who is not afraid of anything and for those looking for a used with an unsurpassed price value. |
  | sent on February 23, 2020 Pros: All Cons: Nothing Opinion: Don't I understand what they say weight and clutter? It's heavy? take a compact cmq goes well. What to say I still use it and I find no flaws, it is no coincidence that the queen of the night was defined in its time. Designed for professionals, it has everything you need. Today they want billions of ISO,video,lightness, price... Ridiculous. .just real people are amazing.cmq is machine is a milestone of photographic history ,defects I do not find. |
 | sent on January 18, 2019 Pros: File, ergonomics, robustness Cons: Video, Weight Opinion: The machine defined for the sport. When you take it you don't even have to look at it you can start shooting, AF practically perfect with proprietary optics, lightweight files workable and held at high ISO better than many new machines. Robust and reliable to work without problems, practically eternal battery. All the MPX's of modern cars are mirrors for larks, to work seriously in the sport do not serve. Obviously everything is paid on weight and footprint. Who has it if he holds it tight. |
 | sent on January 17, 2019 Pros: Reliability, robustness, images, double slots Cons: video, live view, 12megapixel, silent shot... a bit noisy.... Opinion: Great Nikon reflex an evolution of the d3. A reflex that left its mark. Its robustness and reliability is recognized by everyone. Af fast and reliable. You're in the right place and a unique ergonomics. The video and live view part are now gone. A few megapixels but it always gives unique and "bodily" images. In 2019 again Nikon d3s? Why not? I still use it for ceremonies and events. good research |
 | sent on February 15, 2018 Pros: Construction, ergonomics, ISO tightness, well arranged controls, battery seal, burst, Cons: crop limited but not so much, part of the video Opinion: It's still a fantastic car and it will still be as long as the shutter assists it. Returns a fantastic file to envy the current flagships, a noise-tightness of which you ignored the existence, exceptional dynamics, recovery spectacular shadows, three-dimensional image, perfect detail even at ISO 12800, in short, if you happen one does not make it escape , so they do not do it anymore! A bit limited in the crop but not even seen that to cut the noise remains almost stable as opposed to what happens with denser sensors and then on balance you cut almost the same way. If you add to this a burst of all respect and a still precise AF, even if perhaps a little less lending than the current then you will understand that the money of its current listing are very justified. |
user87463  | sent on October 10, 2017 Pros: Sturdy construction, reliability, ease in RAW file development, high ISO hold. Cons: AF a step backwards compared to the latest modules, very limited crop possibilities (12mpx). Opinion: I bought the d3s about six months ago for almost exclusively naturalistic use. The main reason for the purchase was undoubtedly the high-pitched hold: the point at which the d3s did not disappoint me, producing great and easily workable files up to 6400-12800 iso (much depends on light conditions more than from self-sensitivity and per se). In hand it transmits a great feeling of solidity and the construction is flagship to the smallest details. The AF is a bit defective when compared to the modules mounted on more recent models such as the d500, especially in low light conditions where it struggles to hook the subject. The 12mpx strongly restricts the possibility of crops but in case you just have a good dx body or a dense sensor. |
 | sent on October 05, 2017 Pros: Perfect still in 2018 for indoor, robust and reliable sports photos, ergonomic and intuitive buttons and nuts, dual CF card Cons: Weight, live view not up to par, video at 24 fps (although I consider unnecessary video function in such specific devices) Opinion: Great work apparatus, rendering of fearfully real images, relatively light nef files well machinable, injectable requirement for resuming indoor tournaments with hundreds of participants, really good up to 3200 iso, still good at 4000, beyond Need to go up, in practice makes files clean, with a grain so fine that it seems to have more than 12 megapixels declared... in practice work with twice the ISO that I could push with my previous already excellent D3, with all the benefits that result in terms of RE Shooting time, possibility of more closed diaphragms with relative increase in depth of field and sharpness, has a fast and customizable autofocus that pairs very well with my series D optics, burst and excellent buffers, very viewfinder Bright, who I question if I think the D3s still valid in 2018 I answer yes! |
 | sent on August 01, 2017 Pros: Clean images at High ISO, burst, body pro, etc... Cons: None for how I use it Opinion: 1 AUGUST 2017...I went from a few months from D3 to D3s because in the work I do not use flash and already the D3 satisfied me at 6400 ISO but I met really dark churches and hence the decision. I still have to try it in the field but it's the evolution of the D3 with a new sensor and some other improvements. I tried its 51600 ISO and the grain is very fine even if I will never get to use it at those values. As with the D3 taken last year, the D3s is the best choice. Unlike the current ones has never had recalls, problems, there are those who used it up to over 400000 shots before replacing the sensor, there are those who still use it. It's a flagship. |
 | sent on June 19, 2017 Pros: Speed, high ISO Cons: Dimensions, weight. However, professional car. Opinion: Purchased new in 2010, I gained a certain level of mastery, although lately I bought some 810 as a part of it. Some today complain about low resolution, but I remember that Nikon just stated that it left the number of pixels unchanged to have larger pixels to reach the high ISO. In fact, I used it on several occasions even at 25,000 Iso with an acceptable "noise". Good picture quality and always ready to shoot. There is no mistake: download on your computer sometimes I would like to delete some photos, but the display of each one is always perfect. |
 | sent on May 01, 2016 Pros: operating speed, quickness, reliability in every trial. Cons: Size, weight, price (as new). For certain applications 12 megapixels are few. Opinion: From a flagship to be expected that there is a reliable light meter, an impressive operating speed, you can safely use up to ISO 12800 will not disappoint you, it is always ready all'accensione.rnrnL'ho already had, I used it intensively, I appreciated very much, finally I sold it. Now a little regret. rnrnE 'bulky and heavy. Like all top-class. Take her for a walk around the city with a 70/200 or even just a wide-angle zoom is still impegnativo.rnrnNon suited to those who make landscapes, still-life, macro, portraits. (In those years I also used for this type of shooting, but I had not the D800E) .rnrnAdatta for shooting sports (especially indoors), shooting at the theater, nature photography, fotogiornalismo.rnrnI his files, although not rich detail how those cameras with greater resolution, however, are "light", take up less space on the hard disks, are very easy to work with programsof post-production. And my eyes are "beautiful," I always see them in some detail, some depth, some rich colors, a distribution of tones that always leaves me pleasantly sorpreso.rnrnAlcune photos with my review can be found here: rnhttp : //brunomora.blogspot.it/2015/11/nikon-d3s-il-terzo-passo-di-nikon-nel.htmlrn |
 | sent on November 08, 2015 Pros: It is a tank robust reliable in any situation, clean files, excellent image quality with high ISO Cons: Heavy but the flagships are well! , Does not arrive at 50 ISO, maybe 12 mpx are a bit short for large prints dimensioni.video not up to the latest generation of Nikon Opinion: Excellent machine for sport and photographic hunting, a real flagship professional, a pleasure to hold and to look at, although it is not a featherweight. Tropicalised not afraid of the weather or the climate rigid, always produces clean files, short supply of some mega pixels but if you do not have to superwide printing more than enough I are very satisfied and recommend it to all who want a body pro at a reasonable price can be found on the market by 2000/2500 € with not too many clicks !!! |
 | sent on May 29, 2012 Pros: The reliability and image quality at high ISO, above all else. Then also add the battery and its stability over time (in two years, the state of the battery is down just a notch). Revealed herself to me decisive in the propensity to sports photography, so I got exactly the photos I had in mind. The four-year warranty are important, although not ever needed. More than adequate buffer and the speed of file transfer. Cons: The limit most annoying is the lack of interest in AF-S autofocus to lock on subjects in low-light situations, especially bulbs, such as in churches and restaurants (read wedding reportage). The problem is circumvented by setting the focus of AF-C. Sometimes I use the angle finder (I need to take the floor level), but I have never endured the screw plug (much better than the Canon solution): use it is really uncomfortable and even then need a key to remove it ... Opinion: After more than 481 thousand shots, made mostly in the field of indoor sports, I have formed an opinion of the D3s fairly accurate. Meanwhile, to begin with, the D3s is a camera very reliable: not a problem in 26 months and nearly half a million clicks, no need to use the services, zero. And this is a fact. My personal opinion is that the D3s is a truly professional camera, with a fairly balanced mix of features. Perhaps the fact that it was used mostly in its field of use ideal conditions a lot in my judgment, but I can say that the machine has fully met my expectations. Then, it must be said, despite nearly three years since its introduction, I find it aged very little, maybe the video is the most obsolete, but nevertheless allows you to bring a case of clippettine more than decent. |
 | sent on July 07, 2011 Pros: The current queen of the high iso. Impeccable construction (maybe the cover CF deserves a little more). Excellent viewfinder, not equal to 1D3s but great. Great customization (Typical nikon), some nothing short of brilliant quality of the file as a reference (the low density of the sensor allows a lot). Ability to manage the crop in the car (typical nikon FF) Excellent skills in tracking AF despite the few cross-type points (no side) 3D Matrix (equivalent expansion in all points of canon) very efficient, you do not use often but on nikon works as expected. White balance is not perfect but better than canon The shot is very nice, clean and precise noise, no effect "spring", low lag, among the best. Recovery in the shadows of the d3x but not at the level higher than most of the devices on the market. Dual slot CF (CF the best of the SD of the series1). Viewfinder Magnification at> 100% (if you want with a single press) .. nikon. Cons: Heavier than the competition. Does not support 50 iso. Lack of cross-type side. Low capacity coupling in one-shot (single) with little light and contrast .. better to use continuous fire. AF module up to 5.6 (the canon f / 8) Ability to customize the files on separate cards less than canon (you can not set raw-mraw) Cost resolution than the Canon a bit 'too low in some situations, the crop 1.5 gives output slightly too low for professional use. Yield of jpeg files much lower to that obtained with processing Raw, in this canon does better. The handle fatigues a bit 'compared to other machines. The ring on the index (Typical nikon) is the least you could ergonomic design. The engagement of the Nikon bayonet is psychopaths, and reverse pitch engagement point is not understandable as in canon. Opinion: The D3s is one of the best cameras ever made, but lacking some features useful in the workplace is one of the sports equipment more available on the market. Of course, the perfect world does not exist and there will always be the most beautiful things or profits from one side or the other but there is little to say about the fact that Nikon has produced a device that with little attentions almost reach perfection (misnomer a technological environment that undergoes continuous evolution). It would be nice to be able to mount many types of optics as in canon (the benefit of the draft), it would be great to have a universal bayonet for all makes and models .... but we live on earth and not in fantasyland. The cost of the machine is high as it is one of the bodies, but I think on the contrary nikon objectives about the bodies is in line with the quality offered over the competition. |
