Nikon has issued a firmware update for the new Nikon D3S digital SLR camera, which we recently reviewed. Version 1.01 incorporates the following changes:

  • Movie recording specifications have been modified as follows and an issue that, in some rare cases, caused movie playback to appear to have stopped has been resolved.
  • When exposure preview is enabled in live view tripod mode, information + histogram display is possible, but the histogram is no longer displayed while movies are recorded.
  • When the live view button is pressed with the Audio Video Cable EG-D2 connected, the image is displayed in both the television and camera monitor, but the camera monitor now turns off during movie recording. The camera monitor turns on again when the Audio Video Cable EG-D2 is disconnected from the camera.
  • Some simplified Chinese menus and help displays have been revised.
  • When some memory cards were inserted in the camera, “CHA” was displayed in the top control panel and images could not be captured. This issue has been resolved.

I shoot commercially for a media agency and also sports events. I looked at the canon offerings closely, but having used the d2x and d200 for some time now I moved up to the D3s and D300s. The D300s is a greeat bit of kit and although I think of it as ‘backup’ I use it loads. The D3s is something else, the autofocus, ISO performance and overall handling is sublime, in another place from any other camera I’ve used to date. The D3 got rave reviews but in real life photography I’ve had the opportunity to compare D700 and D3s images and the D700 produced some great images at high ISO but the D3s at ISO 3200 was just as good in the right lighting as the D700 (therefore the D3) at ISO 400 – just amazing, this is why Nikon is held up as the leader in real life press, sorts and day to day serious ’street’ photography.
