Nikon D3S unboxing and hands-on!

Our Black Friday just got significantly more awesome -- a new Nikon D3S showed up on our doorstep a moment ago, along with a super-hot NIKKOR AF-S 24-70 f/2.8G ED lens. We're just about to dive into this thing's incredible ISO 102,400 performance (well, we will when it get a little darker) and full-manual 720p24 video mode, but for now we thought we'd hit you up with some unboxing shots -- check 'em out!

What a excellent camera !!

[InLikeFlint Posted Nov 28th 2009 12:22AM]

you forgot to charge the battery

[cmacattack Posted Nov 28th 2009 1:27AM]

give it to me!

[SinoPeach Posted Nov 28th 2009 6:28AM]

You know high ISO is not for the dark... it is the same as what it meant in film. More shadow detail for a given EI. Nerds that have latched onto and ruined photography for all. :-(

[rabonzai Posted Nov 28th 2009 12:57PM]

I think that curious collector's box the D3s is sitting against is much more interesting than that silly camera. And anyway, my Nikon F6 is a better camera than that digital thing, and it shoots superior RealRAW.

[dr34mc4st3r Posted Nov 28th 2009 3:17PM]

the lens is a beauty

[techguy78 Posted Nov 28th 2009 5:19PM]

i could only imaging the quality of the photos if they were taken by the D3s

[Oshitheguru Posted Nov 28th 2009 6:28PM]

I just ordered my d40 ;)

[0LIV3R Posted Nov 28th 2009 8:42PM]

That is such a nice camera, If it works as good as it looks, well then I want it. Please Review.

[TGrant Posted Nov 28th 2009 10:35PM]

Definitely waiting on the review for this one!

[The Teknisyan Posted Nov 29th 2009 12:24AM]

[nikond3sfan Posted Dec 27th 2009 10:51PM]
