Due to this large ISO range, quality of both video and picture is awesome under different conditions. It is a DSLR designed, heavy duty large camera with weight of 1.24 Kg, but is perfectly balanced when used with aperture lenses of right specifications.

D3S is 12.1 Mega pixels camera with 14-bit A/D conversion and 36 x 24 mm FX CMOS frame sensor. It has many exclusive features like boost option up to ISO 25600 and high sensitivity. Camera speed is very fast with shutter lag of 41 ms and power-up time of 12 ms. New shutter has exposure capability of up to 0.3 million. Output file formats are JPG, TIFF or NEF for still images and AVI for video.

There exist various picture controls like neutral colors and active D-Lighting in the camera that can adjust metering and be used to apply Lighting curve.

New features added in this camera are AF point brightness control, GPS option, vignette correction and aircraft cockpit display like virtual horizon. Other features in the camera are moisture proof buttons, big 3 inch TFT LCD monitor, dual flash support, 12 channel readout and DX lens support.

With its robust body, impressive features and being a true ISO camera, Nikon D3S is worthy at available price of around $5000.
