Nikon D3 Sample Photo (ISO 3200)

ImageShortly 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.

Camera Test: Sigma SD14

The long-awaited Sigma SD14 DSLR boasts a unique sensor and a whole lot of megapixels. But how well does it perform?

Image
If patience is a virtue, photographers shopping for a new Sigma DSLR are saints. After all, it’s been three years since the last Sigma digital (the SD10), and it was more than six months between the announcement and availability of the new Sigma SD14 ($1,600, street, body only).

Clearly, a truly unique camera takes time. And the SD14 is unique. It’s the first and only DSLR to use a second-generation Foveon X3 sensor, which has a 1.7X lens factor, boasts 14.1 megapixels, and is promoted as a color-accurate, detail-obsessed, low-noise alternative to the CMOS and CCD sensors used in other DSLRs.
