Nikon D3 Sample Photo (ISO 3200)
August 27, 2007
Shortly after posting
Nikon D3 Sample Photo (ISO 640), I received another mail regarding photo leak of Nikon D3 at ISO 3200. This time, photos were taken at a soccer field. There are believed to be taken using Nikon D3 and Nikon 400 f2.8 VR lens.
I have resized and sharpen the sample photos. 100% cropping is done in Photoshop CS3 to enable a better view of how Nikon D3 performs in ISO3200. Nikon D3's ISO3200 setting is one of the normal ISO settings in the camera, unlike the Nikon D2 series where ISO3200 is known as HI-1.

We have seen Nikon D300 ISO6400 Sample Photo , now I would like to share some Nikon D3 sample photos.The photos below are believed to be taken with Nikon D3 in China during a recent volleyball championship.

According to Rob Galbraith, Nikon has already begin manufacturing Nikon D3 and Nikon D300 for sale in November.

D3 bodies are currently being made at a rate of about 400 per day in Sendai, but this will grow to about 600 per day in September for a planned ongoing production of 12,000 units per month.

Assembly of the D300, which takes place at Nikon's factory in Thailand, will also be in full swing in September, at which time 60,000 units of the midrange digital SLR will emerge each month.
The Nikon D3 and D300 are slated to ship in November 2007.
Three new professional super-telephoto NIKKOR lenses featuring VR II
Tokyo – Nikon Corporation is pleased to announce the introduction of three new AF-S super-telephoto NIKKOR lenses — the AF-S NIKKOR 400mm f/2.8G ED VR, AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/4G ED VR, and AF-S NIKKOR 600mm f/4G ED VR — to further strengthen its super-telephoto lens lineup.
These new super-telephoto lenses are equipped
with a vibration reduction (VR) function. Nikon’s VR II system
minimizes image blur caused by camera shake, offering a shutter speed
up to the equivalent of four stops faster.* The newly added Tripod mode
reduces vibration that may occur at shutter release when shooting with
a super-telephoto lens attached to a tripod. Another big advantage of
Nikon’s VR function is that it gives photographers the option of a
natural viewfinder image even during VR operation.
