The Nikon D3S has been specifically designed for lowlight photography and promises superb quality photos even when the light is low.

The Nikon D3S camera has been designed specially for taking pictures of news, wildlife and sports where speed and precision are of utmost importance. Obviously, that will mean that the price would be nothing less than shocking, but we will come to that soon.

Announcing the launch of Nikon D3S Hidehiko Tanaka, Managing Director, Nikon India, said: “The D3S rewrites the rules for professional photography. It has the capability to click brilliant images in extreme lowlight photography, enabling photographers to take control of ambient light. This is also the world’s first FX format camera to have a D-movie function. The D3S offers photographers the best possible image quality every time they push the button as this is the camera that responds precisely, quickly and consistently. With this impeccable instrument, Nikon engineers have contributed in making the best even better.”

The image sensor that has been integrated in Nikon D3S is a 12.1MP sensor that is completely redesigned. The inner structure has also been modified and this, when combined with the new larger pixel pitch, gives users the unique opportunity to shoot picture in low light conditions which were previously deemed impossible. The seven stop ISO range of 200 – 12,800 helps users to capture images in extremely low light conditions, and this can especially come in handy for news and sports photographers.

The NIkon D3S has all the benefits of NIKKOR lenses and offers three ISO boost levels – up to HI-3.

Users can capture movies at 720p/ 24 fps in motion JPEG with stereo sound using the input jack. The Nikon D3S has a “Save Selected” frame option, thereby allowing users to shoot freely. Also, it offers the unique feature of its ability to send a key image even when a movie is being captured.

The Nikon D3S will be available in 800 retail locations across India from December onwards at a retail price of Rs 2,89,950.
