dSLR Dad

Looking at the stats, I know you dSLR Dad’s can’t get enough of the Nikon D3 and D300. So here you go:

Nikon has updated their Digitutor website with more information on the Nikon D3 and D300. Digitutor is a Nikon website with various information that includes basic knowledge, useful techniques, and tips on taking good photos with Nikon Digital Cameras (their words, not mine).

You can gorge yourself on D3 information here.
The D300 link is here.

Amazon has the Nikon D300 DX 12.3MP Digital SLR Camera (Body Only) in stock and ready to ship. You can check it out here.

Rob Galbraith has posted a collection of sample Nikon D3 photographs here:
Nikon has taken a grassroots approach to marketing their upcoming D3 digital SLR, putting it in the hands of professional photographers far and wide in the months leading up to its expected late-November release. And while this practice isn’t new, it is uncommon to allow those same photographers to use and distribute the files freely, especially from bodies running relatively early firmware. Such is Nikon’s confidence in their first full-frame offering.

We’ve gathered files from three such photographers – Tony Bock, Nick Didlick and David Einsel – as well as photographer/author Peter K. Burian. From ISO 200 to 25600, here are full-resolution examples of what Nikon’s new flagship is capable of.

Kevin Kitching was in Manchester, England to try out the Nikon D3 and D300 track side at a velodrome event. He has quite a few interesting statements.

First: ISO 3200 on the Nikon D300 is amazing! It’s even better on the D3 though. Several D3 bodies were at the trackside to capture action (along with various lenses including the new Nikkors).

Second (and this is going to be the whaaa? statement): Apparently, The D300 exceeds the image quality of the D2Xs – Nikon’s words, not mine! ‘12 channel data transfer from sensor & gapless microlenses reduce CA’. …………..Both cameras use the new microlens! This new design means that the microlens is closer to the sensor surface.
