Nikon D3 vs. Nikon D80? Do you see a difference in photo quality?

Wednesday Sep 1, 2010

Can 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.

Nikon D3 Pelican Sound Blimp

Thursday Aug 12, 2010

This is my second sound blimp. I built this one for the Nikon D3. Built around the Pelican 1200 case which, besides being almost completely soundproof, also turns out to be almost completely waterproof.
