Nikon D3 firing at 11 frames per second for 163 frames in a row. Taken by Mike Hagen, Out There Images, Inc.

How fast is the D3? If you want to see how fast Nikon’s new D3 is, this is the video for you. I’ve placed a DCS camera up to the viewfinder of the D3 while I shoot off a round of 12 shots to show you the 9fps as see from the viewfinder. As each successive new camera is released I will release the same style of video for each.

i describe the main differences between the nikon d3 and the nikon d80
namable the fact that the sensor in the nikon d80 is only 60% of the sensor in the d3. the nikon d3 is a 5000$ DSLR its full frame. so why is this so cool? well because the bigger the sensor in the camera the better the pictures look and the higher noise preformence the camera has this means that the nikon d3 can get away with shooting at higher iso sensitivities such as iso 6400, 3200 and even (gulp) 26,200 which means higher shutter speeds then ever before possible at these higher iso’s its the certainly the holy grail of cameras.

I´m a professional photojournalist working in a big wire agency, I have the best cameras and lenses (Nikon D3, everything f2.8, supplied by the agency of course!), but I need a small compact camera with manual controls (at least some) and excellent HI ISO resolution, for making a very difficult story about software piracy in a south american country. PLEASE help me with some advice, I´m leaving in a couple of weeks and I know NOTHING about compact cameras. Is there a favorite compact among professional photographers??
Thanks a lot, you´ll save my story!!
ISO 3200 and an f2 Summicron, the Leica D-LUX4.
If you look, low megapixel digital SLRs are dirt cheap, even the professional models. Until you reach 6 megapixels, and then they hold their value a lot better.
You can get a D1 for cheaper than a D50, even though the one is a tank and the other is an entry level camera. You can get an EOS 1D for cheap ($650), but an EOS 1Ds is FOUR times as much, when its basically the same camera with a larger sensor (which makes it more than 6 megapixels).
This leads me to believe that the digital camera market is going to start cooling off, at least in how often new cameras are released. I think the D3 will stick around for quite a bit longer than the D2, just because digital has finally caught up to the quality of film (both in size and clarity).
Does anyone agree (or disagree) with me?
Follow the link below, I think it will convince you that we are not even close to a plateau.Certainly the market will mature, much like computers. With computers for the first time in history we are now doing much the same things with them that we were doing ten years ago. However now we do them a lot better.
Research and development are always ongoing behind the scenes, and as with all things technological there is always something exciting on the horizon.
As for the Nikon models you mention, I also respectfully disagree. I agree that price points may not change dramatically, because the manufacturers have worked out how much we are willing to pay. However technology will continue to move ahead. Watch for smarter processors. I think the next generation of SLRs will automatically assess the dynamic range of a scene and dynamically alter the sensitivity of areas within the one sensor to cope with bright and dark areas within one shot.
I would also predict that the raw file format will become smarter. As more processing is done (even to raw files) in camera, more information will be packed into the raw file format to allow us to take greater control of what the camera did on a recorded shot. For example we may be able to do dynamic range expansion or compression by undoing the "history" of what happened in the camera rather than by using current methods.
Also I think as production becomes cheaper, we will start to see more formats in digital sensors, such as wide format etc. Of course this will instantly mean new lenses to match the new format, but for those who have the budget, who cares? We are already seeing a move in both Canon and Nikon back towards 35mm sensors from the current DX format.
I'm sure there's more coming that my feeble brain can't imagine.
