Eight years after Nikon s D1 camera changed professional digital photography forever, Nikon introduces the D3 – a new digital SLR camera that is poised to once again revolutionize photography for professionals. The 12.1 effective megapixel D3 features Nikon s new FX-format sensor, measuring 23.9 x
Blue2CAN Bluetooth Adapter for Nikon & Fujifilm Digital SLRs Links to a Bluetooth GPS for Geotagging Compact and Rugged Housing Zero Configuration Required GPS/Geotagging Accessories The Blue2CAN Bluetooth Adapter from Red Hen Systems is designed to allow photographers to link a compatible Bluetooth GPS device to their Nikon or Fujifilm camera for the purposes of geotagging images at the time of exposure. Using a Bluetooth link to a GPS gives a user more room to move their receiver to a better location in order to get a stronger signal. The geospatial data collected in the form of latitude and longitude is automatically transmitted to the camera through the Blue2CAN adapter. The Blue2CAN works with NikonDigital SLR cameras equipped with a 10-pin connector (Nikon D2-series D3-series D200 D300 D700) and is also compatible with the Fujifilm S5 Pro and IS Pro. In order to receive GPS signals a compatible Bluetooth GPS receiver or datalogger will need to be purchased separately.

The D200’s asking price is probably going to be about $800 with no lens. It is rated at 10.2 Megapixels and is VERY rugged. The D90 has a 12.3 Megapixel image sensor (same as the Nikon D300) and is $999 without a lens, and $1,300 with the "kit" lens (but its a decent lens). I’d like to be able to afford a Nikon D3, but I can’t right now. Any recommendations? Thanks!!!
The "kit" lens is a decent $399 Nikon lens for $300 instead if purchased with the camera. I want the 18-200mm lens, but it costs $800, not $300, and unfortunately I am on a budget.
The D90 has a self-cleaning image sensor; the D200 doesn’t.
According to my local Nikon dealer, only the D90 with "kit" lens will be available, and not "body onlyI", which won’t be available for 6-8 weeks. The price on the D200 (used) has dropped to $600, but I’m still waiting on a decision as I might "bite the bullet" and get the D300. ALL of these answers are VERY good – I appreciate that!
You’re almost answering your own questions here. Though the D200 has been a true performer the last 2 years, it has been made obsolete by the D90. The D90 now has expeed, the D200 doesn’t. The D90 now has ADR, the D200 does not. The D90 now has 3D tracking AF with face detect priority, the D200 does not. The D90’s sensor is the same as the D300 and D3, with improved A/D transfer, better ISO sensitivity vs. noise, all of which the D200 does not have. The D90 has a larger VGA LCD screen with more than triple the resolution, the D200 does not. And despite the D200 having better build quality and ruggedness, those seem to be all that it has vs. the new D90. The choice is clear. If you are on a budget, I recommend you spend a couple more months, save up the extra money for a D90 and 18-200 VR. I would forget the 18-105 VR. Though it is a good lens, it doesn’t have the same reach of the D80’s kit lens, the 18-135, and for what they want, you should check B&H for a D90/18-200 VR kit to save on the cost of the lens.

After months of research and comparisons, I was all set to purchase a NikonD3, but I was just informed of the new Canon EOS 5D Mark II. It’s cheaper than the D3, has an amazing 21.1 mpx AND high-def movie mode. My purpose is for outdoor travel photography and photojournalism. Any experts here can cite the pros and cons of each camera? Of course I would much rather have the new Nikon D3X or the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III, but I don’t have that kind of money, so its seems the second best options are the Canon EOS 5D Mark II or Nikon D3. All your opinions, expertise and feedback are valued, thank you!!!
Please tell me WHY, in detail, and kindly offer me your expertise. Thank you.
Thanks for all your feedback thus far. As for the occasional ig’nant "beginner" remarks, apparently those people haven’t taken the time to read my profile, heh
You will find lots of evidence in publications and online reviews (and the answers here) of the following:
** Nikon’s high-end range of cameras have technically superior sensor technology for high-ISO shooting.**
I am not sure if your eyes will tell the difference at ISO 800.
Pretty sure that nobody could be sure about whether a shot was taken on a Canon or a Nikon at ISO 400 or below, with their eyes.
Shooting at high ISO above 400 is the last resort for exposure adjustment when the goal is clear, crisp photography. So you have to consider whether you will need to use ISOs higher than 400 often to get the shots that you want (are you shooting action in low light, or long telephoto lenses 200mm and longer?). Otherwise, the cure is longer shutter speed, wider aperture, or a tripod/image stabilization.
Nikon provides better value dollar for dollar in their camera body technology.
Canon has a much more extensive range of camera lenses and add-ons (both from Canon and from third parties).
I would only consider these top end cameras (D3, D3x, 5D Mark II, and 1Ds Mark III) if I were being provided equipment by an employer for a gig… perhaps to go shoot wildlife or to do studio photography.
If it were wildlife, I would go with the Nikon D3(x) because the high ISO will benefit shooting distant or moving objects in uncontrolled lighting situations.
If it were studio shooting with controlled lighting, or product shots, I would put the cameras back on par because high ISO does not matter in this environment.
If I were talking walk-about photos and candids in uncontrolled lighting situations, I would get a D90 with an 18-200 VR, or an XSi with a 24-105mm IS.
If I were shooting weddings, i would use those same cameras as backups to either a D300 or a 50D with a prime lens around 100mm.
I hope that you get the information you need to make your decision.
I´m a professional photojournalist working in a big wire agency, I have the best cameras and lenses (NikonD3, 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!!
