Nikon D3 digital SLR review by What Digital camera: Part 2

wow it puts my cannon 400d to shame.

what is that lens attached to the camera?

it is maybe 14-24mm f/2.8:)

you can tell is the 14-24mm because of the hood and the front element

rene as i said every shooting situation is different so what i have experience is very different on what you have experience coz sun don't shine brightly the same all over the world, *Shrug*.

Recently i shoot a fashion week at 200 iso use a tripod set my lens at f3.2 and the lighting are dimmer than the gym that i shoot and the shots went well. So its very rare that i shoot 800 iso. Does this sounds like i know what im talking about reneh.

Well it depends how lit the gym is, yes i have tried to shoot at 800 iso, use a film higher than 800 iso will give you a super grainy shots thats not acceptable for most newspapers, at the gyms that i shoot is well lit and 800 iso is more than enough in film days. Does this sounds like i know what im talking about to you now. Every shooting situation is different so you cannot tell till you have experienced it.

Rusty, I only said " you did not know what you are talking about" because you said "in film days no one shoots more than 800 ISO." and that is not true. And trust me, after shooting for newspapers for 12 years, I have just about shot in any situation you can think of.

"use a film higher than 800 iso will give you a super grainy shots thats not acceptable for most newspapers"

I lol'd. ISO 100 and 800 practically look the same on newspaper printed smaller than 8x10. (it's kinda impossible to get a non-grainy image in a newspaper)

Put it this way, a photog shooting for another paper was using the D3 at 6400 ISO with no flash and I was shooting with a D2 at 1600 ISO with a flash. He had less noise at 6400 than i did at 1600.
