Nikon D3S 12.1 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3.0-Inch LCD and 24fps 720p HD Video Capability |
D3S's ISO can be pushed up to 102,400 by setting to the Hi ISO. I used Nikon D3S combined with the Nikkor 24-70 2.8 Lens for the test. I tested at 400 ISO, 800 ISO, 1,600 ISO, 3,200 ISO, 6,400 ISO, and 12,800 ISO both inside in low light and outdoor at night. I also tested the Hi 3 and 102,400 ISO setting. And the result are great!!
The ISO settings seems really great up through the mark 3,200. After other can produce a little notice grain / noise up to the 12,800 ISO. I would not doubt at all to run this camera on 1,600 or 3,200 ISO. By the way - Pictures which taken at 12,800 are usable. They look really good. But there is a little noise as I said. The 102,400 setting creates all sorts of noise/grain, but that should be expected. So far the pictures I've take at the highest setting basically turns this camera into your own "night vision" camera. It can see in very dark surroundings.

The Virtual Horizon like something you will find in the cockpit of an airplane and not a camera, but here it is in the D3s. It is a line that gives the photographer the correct horizon. Imagine anything from nature photography on the mountains (like standing on a slope) to photographing motorsports on a banked oval track.. Here is the function that allows photos to have proper alignment. I could see this function being used both on a tripod and hand held.
I've now taken well over 1,000 pictures with the D3s and it is easily the best camera I have owned. I am really impressed.
