The D3's high ISO is really impressive I'll remain at least somewhat skeptical until we can get a D3 back in the lab and test it under controlled conditions, but Nikon showed some incredibly impressive prints at the event. They had enlargements that must have been 30x45 inches or more in size, comparing identical shots taken with the D3 and Canon EOS-1D Mark III at ISO 3,200 and 6,400. After the disappointment of the D2H, I have to say I was taking Nikon's claims of low noise at high ISOs with a rather large grain of salt. When I saw the aforementioned prints though, I was literally flabbergasted. The D3 didn't just surpass the 1D Mark III, it far surpassed it. Well, that may be a little strong; the Mark III is a fantastic camera, but the difference between its images and those from the D3 was anything but subtle. As I say, I'll remain a skeptic until we can test a production sample of the D3 ourselves, but if the images shown had any basis in reality (and Nikon would be foolish to have doctored them in any way), it looks like there's a new leader in the high-ISO / low-noise derby, and it's the D3. Current gear: EOS 7D w/ BG-E7

I can show prints where 300D kills Mark III in noise, it's all matter of what you want to show. Because of the low mp and full frame I do not doubt that noise is low, but based on everything we have seen from Nikon they do low noise with software NR which kills the details in the end. Did they suddenly invent clean ISO 6400 - I seriously doubt it? The Forum Boss, El General Moderator

I think you are seeing the differences between CMOS and CCD, which might start to narrow now that Nikon has begun using CMOS too. The differences between CMOS and CCD were a lot more pronounced some years ago, both have improved in many respects. Alan Myers

....seriously though...the camera specs look beast-like...but I myself am still content with my 1dmk3....and with the Canon brand.
