Nikon D3 and D300 Digital SLR Cameras for Superb Quality .

One of the main Nikon is so popular is that many lenses and accessories from film cameras are usable on the Nikon Digital SLR Cameras. Some early lenses are not compatible though and you should check your camera manual to see which ones will fit to avoid damaging the slr camera body.

Nikon have just announced their new NIKON D3 Body and this looks like a stunning Nikon Digital SLR Camera - not least because of the 12 Megapixel pictures it takes.

The price is a bit strong though at $5450 and you should click here to find out if its available Is it Here ?

For a really Good Buy consider the D300 - with many of the FD3's Features :

What a Specification !

12.1-megapixel FX-format (23.9 x 36mm) CMOS sensor
3.0-inch, super density 920,000-dot VGA color monitor; 170-degree wide-angle viewing and tempered-glass protection
Continuous shooting at up to 9 frames-per-second at full FX resolution
Fast, accurate 51-point AF with 3D Focus Tracking
Capture images to CF I/II cards
Nikon D3 Digital SLR Highlights

The D3 has a 12.1 effective megapixel FX-format (23.9 x 36mm) sensor . I think that this will give higher quality images than any other current DSLR.
The CMOS image sensor has some really neat features to give you superior quality pictures throughout the camera's exceptionally broad ISO range.

But that's not all. One of the main problems with most DSLR's is the time lag between pressing the button and taking the shot.

With the D3's sensor's high-speed 12-channel readout you'll be able to shoot camera to shoot 12.1-megapixel images at up to nine frames per second. Read that again -
NINE Frames per second !
Rejoice oh Ye Sports and Wildlife Photographers and bend the knee to Nikon for they have made a GREAT CAMERA and its a goodie !

Lots of improvements on the earlier Nikon models including an ISO range of 200 to 6400 (!)
That's the normal range and should be enough for most people (although you can alter the range to includerangesd from a finegrain ISO100 to a mind-shattering 25,600 ISO (I don't think I can even see in light conditions that low !)
.
There still IS a shutter release delay but its now down only 37 milliseconds, and a camera start-up time of 0.12 seconds.

D3 is the world's fastest digital SLR camera in its class.(As of August 207 - who knows what is going on in a clinical lab somewhere else ?)

You can actually get up to 11 frames per second by switching down to its DX-format mode but that's with 5.1 Megapixel images.

Recording speeds are rather nifty too with a very fast transfer rate indeed.
There are lots of other superb features - not least the 3 inch viewing screen and the greatly improved viewfinder.
The Picture Control System is great dor all the in-camera adjustments you will need (like brightness,contrast tone and sharpening)
You can port the controls to a D300 if you have one as a second camera so you will get identically matched results frm both.
There is a New EXPEED Image Processing System that is central to the speed and processing power of the camera. EXPEED delivers optimized performance for the camera and its features, and ensures high-image quality and high-speed image processing.

The manufacturers say that :
A New 51-point auto focus system The D3 features Nikon's Multi-CAM 3500FX auto focus sensor module, with 51 AF points, including 15 cross-type sensors that are located in the center of the frame. These cross-type sensors work with all Nikkor lenses, including those with apertures as small as f/5.6. The D3's auto focus system is closely linked with the camera's innovative Scene Recognition System to deliver greater accuracy in subject detection and focus tracking performance.

But there's MORE !
A Revolutionary new Scene Recognition system that uses the camera's built-in, 1,005-pixel RGB metering sensor to recognize the subject or scene being photographed and detect any movement. This information helps optimize exposure and white balance settings for the recognized subject and also enables the camera to assign appropriate AF points based on any movement of the subject, ensuring highly precise auto focus tracking performance.
This really deos improve digital photography in many fields incredibly.

A LiveView mode on the Superb Vieing Screen has a 170 degree viewing angle for nocusing and framing..
The viewing screen has a 920,000 dot resolution - Gulp !

You also get the ability to fine-tune lenses and save those tunings and lots more !

This is really the best camera body currently available.. here's the full spec:

Nikon 10.5mm lens review

An Extraordinary quality fisheye lens

I had the chance to borrow a friend's 10.5 mm digital lens and I was realy surprised at the exceptional and unusual quality of landscapes obtainable.
This is a lens really worth saving up for !
Sharp from here to the middle of next week - that was my opinion on a fine day in the mountains near my home.
Its specially designed for Nikon digital slr
and gives a full-frame fisheye picture of amazing width.
Nikon say it's 180 degrees across the diagonal (thats cheating a bit of course as most lenses are measured side to side and that is still impressive ) but the results nearly blew me away !
The lens focuses down to .46 of a foot (almost 6 inches)
The 10 ED glass elements ensure high quality results.
It has a built-in lenshood (and would suffer cut-off with any standard lenshod) and Nikon don't supply a pola filter.

Did I like it - yes - its my next lens purchase.
I can see hndreds of uses for this len - narrow streets,room interiors,etc - but the big advantage that I can see the the HUGE depth of field you'll get - sharp as a tack throughout any landscape (at a medium f-stop - say f8 or f11 )
At around $605 this is a careful decision to make.. the alternative is the Sigma 10-20mm zoom at about $100 dollars less. ($465 to $600 depending where you shop)

Great prices on genuine Nikon Cameras
I bought the Sigma 70-300mm Macro lens and it's really good (but as with all 300mm lenses you do need a tripod for maximum sharpness)
