for wasabi... the ISO doesnt really seem to be affected by the fact that a dx lens is used... at least not for the few shots that i took... however due to the fact that it's pixels are reduced to about 5.. cropping the image to hundred percent is not reccommeded as the image quality seems to deteriorate at that point... other fellow D3 users can comment on this as i only have the 18-200 for DX lenses.

Like you, I only have the 18-200 for Dx lenses. Can I ask what you meant by cropping the image to hundred percent?

erm... i mean blowing up the photo fully to 100 percent...... does this make sense?
 

if you want to view your NEF from D3 on CS3 and LR, you'll need to download their latest updates.
i learnt it the hard way.transferred from CF cards to HDD 3 times thinking the files were corrupt.:what:

one disadvantage i found with D3 is the location of the metering knob.maybe it should be located as the same position as the D200.
somehow, this d3 has rather similar resemblance to F5...

and please note, there are 2 types of batt for the D3.
one is enel4 and the other is enel4A.i was told the latter has better energy storage(does that explain why i could shoot one whole day on just one batt?), and it's higher powered.:dunno:
can anyone confirm this?
 

The metering knob on the D3 is on the same location as D1 and D2 series camera. you will get use to it :)

The Enel4 battery is very lasting, i could shoot more than 1k pics (RAW) with my d2x and i heard that enel4a could last longer. I am glad that Nikon decide to use the same battery for the D3.

The battery use for D3 is the same as the D2X and D2Xs

The different is that the latter have higher power capacity.

EN-EL4 = 1900 mAh
EN-EL4a = 2500 mAh

En-EL4 launch together with D2X and i think En-EL4a launch together with D2Xs. Just like for D200 battery, they have launch a higher capacity EN-EL3 ending with an "a" at the back as well. The En-EL3a.

Hmm weird i thg that they have discontinue all the lower power capacity model.

Where did you got your En-EL4, please don't tell me the D3 package the battery without an "a" one :( that will be a disappointment.. As the D2Xs already bundle En-EL4a in it...

Btw If you are charging two En-EL4 at the same time, its better to put the same batt model in the two bay. Not advisable to charge 1 En-EL4a & 1 En-EL4 at the same time.
 

Are there any place in SG where you can get the D3 without a preorder?
 

Can the D3 use AA batteries?

sgp i not so sure since most of the stocks has already been taken.
maybe you might want to try ebay and see if anyone decides to make a quick buck?

even if i have 4 batts,i will still bring my charger,esp in cold temp.

Its advisable to bring your charger along as there will be energy leakage on any battery form
 

Yes, but... unless you have all your bases covered (meaning warranty checks/GST/Local Set etc.. etc.. you know what I mean) and of course bargain.
