DPReview has posted the review of Nikon’s flagship full frame (FX) digital SLR camera D3. No surprises there: it compares very favorably to the Canon’s higher resolution competitor even though it is not really a fair comparison due to different targeted applications.
Nikon posted but later pulled the firmware Ver. 1.10 for D3 due to data corruption issues under certain circumstances. Some curious guys have found evidence of Nikon preparing a 24.4MP D3X model in the firmware. This has been picked up by engadget and wired.
There are many articles and opinions about the soon-to-be-released Nikon D3 you can find on the internet but only a few lucky (and good) photographers have had the opportunity to actually use the D3 on a daily basis. Photographer Dave Black spent past three months using the D3 in a variety of shooting situations. Check out this pair of articles: Workshop at the Ranch - New Nikon D3, and On the road - Traveling with Nikon D3. The first article is about sports photography using Nikon D3 at high ISO settings. The second one is about landscape photography and lightpaintings.
While doing research on the D3, I found another photography, Cliff Mautner, also had the chance to shoot the D3 as the only wedding/portrait photographer in the country to have been given the opportunity. Check out the experience and the photos.
