Nikon D3 vs. Nikon D80? Do you see a difference in photo quality?
Posted by admin | Under Nikon D3 Wednesday Sep 1, 2010Can you see any difference in quality between the Nikon D3 vs. The Nikon D80?
I noticed that the D3 has superb quality in the way it preserves skin tones and clarity.
I haven’t really seen that in the D40-D90 and even the D300.
If I could show you a picture I would. But the main thing is that the D3’s quality seems really good when I look at pictures taken with it. But people and reviews say the Nikon D80/D90 and even D40 has the same photo QUALITY. Not the other whistles and bells, but just the photo quality.
I’m thinking of getting a D3, but don’t know if I should spare the extra money and get something like the D90 or D80 if it has the same quality. I want really good image quality specifically, but if the less expensive Nikons can do the same thing, then I don’t know what to pick…
What do you think?
Others have already covered it but my tuppence worth.
With no offence intended to you at all……..
For the majority of "photographers" and Joe Public there will be no noticeable difference between the two when it is a shot of the same subject (say a "standard" landscape) taken by an average photographer and then printed 8×10.
However when it comes down to requiring top quality for professional purposes then the D3 will win hands down for any number of reasons, most of which have been covered.
IF you are a serious photographer who is looking to have their work published or lodged with good libraries then the D3 range is the only way to go.
If you are an amateur/semi-pro who is doing photography for yourself with the possibility of doing some weddings or portraits then you can save some money by "stepping down" and spending the money saved on good glass.
p.s. for the record I use a D3 for the majority of my work.
What is the best entry level pro camera? For shooting portraits, Glamour, Special events/occassions etc?
Posted by admin | Under Nikon D3 Review Wednesday Sep 1, 2010I have been an avid enthusiast for some time now, concentrating on landscapes, wildlife and macro shots. But I am wanting to branch out into the field of ‘pro portraiture’ ‘Obviously only after I have become adequately sound with the hardware and practical requirements etc.
I have read many good reviews regarding the ‘Nikon D3‘ and must admit it does appeal to me?
What are the thoughts of this community and do you recommend other cameras, if so why?
Also, I have performed many searches on the web for a suitable ‘wedding photography course’ but cant seem to find or decide which is suitable but more importantly recognised and credible.
Has anyone got any pointer or suggestions?? UK / England courses!
If you have the money, the Nikon D3 is of course a great way to go. There are some excellent lenses which are perfect for shooting portraits, glamour and events … coupled with Nikon’s dedicated SB800 flash.
Many of the event and glamour photographers I know use a Nikon D300 with either a 24-70mm f/2.8 or 24-85mm f/2.8~f/4.0 and either the SB600 or SB800.
You will find that the lenses you have been using for shooting landscapes, wildlife and macro will work with a new D3 with no changes in your technique, since the D3 is a full frame digital camera … just like your Nikon 35mm camera.
For People who know a lot about cameras, please answer.?
Posted by admin | Under Nikon D3 Cameras Wednesday Sep 1, 2010So, I’m 14 years old, and right now I have a touch screen sony cyber shot camera. It focuses pretty well, not so much on moving objects even if they aren’t moving that fast, and I fell like the flash is too much and washes out a lot on some pictures. Photography is a hobby of mine, and I’m going to start taking classes at my school when I’m old enough (sophomore year I think). I want a new camera for christmas, and I was thinking about a Nikon D3 http://sotoi.com/id/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/nikon_d3_002.jpg but when I did some researching online I found that it could be as much as $5,000 at some places, and $2,000 at others. I still think that’s a lot of money for a camera, and I’d feel bad asking my parents for it (We are a little tight on money right now, but who isn’t).
My question is, What kind of camera could I get that would have most if not all the same features as the Nikon D3, but maybe for a cheaper price, and still good quality? And if you are a photographer, maybe you know a different kind of camera that would be good to use? Please, I want to get a good camera that can take pictures of an even better quality than the one I have. Some pictures I have taken with my Sony are:

I mostly do landscape and nature. What camera would be best for me? Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
The D3 is WAY WAY WAY over the top. I really like your shots by the way. If you are already doing that well with what you have, then I definitely do NOT recommend any point and shoot. NONE of them would be really any better than what you have. You have no control and cannot really learn photography with a point and shoot, but I think you realize that anyway.
I would suggest two cameras. Either the Nikon D40 or D60. The D40 DSLR can be had with the kit lens for under $500. It is 6 megapixel, which is really completely adequate. If, however, you feel you just have to have more pixels, the D60 has 10 megapixels for I think $600. (Not really worth the extra money in my opinion).
The D40 DSLR will be so far advanced over what you have that you will love it and what it will allow you to do. At your age and really just beginning, this would be a good camera and will not "hold you back". You can always move on to something like the D3 in later years, but by that time, even the D3 will be obsolete.
Of course, another alternative is film. If you are going to enroll in the photography course, then you may be required to use a 35mm SLR anyway. Film teaches you to compose and meter correctly as well as working within the limitations of the film’s ISO. With digital it is far too easy to fall into BAD habits that are counterproductive to good photography. So you might want to check with the instructor of the photography course first to see what they will require of you. It would be a bummer for your parents to spend the money on a DSLR if you will not be allowed to use it for class.

But lets get back to what gear we took and how we got it there. We started off packing the ThinkTank Airport International Rolling Case with 2 bodies, Q-Flash with batteries, Nikon 300 2.8 and a few other random lenses. Greg and I both packed our ThinkTank Shape Shifters with a Pro Body, the Hebrew Trinity and other lenses. I utilized the Airport Check In to cary my lap top and Ipad on the plane.
We met all guidelines as we each had one cary on bag and one “man purse”. We had no problems at all going through security in a timely manner.
Now, you may ask how much is all of this gear worth? The answer to that is roughly $45,000!!!! Keep in mind that 4 pro bodies will run that number up pretty fast (see list below the video)
