Nikon D3 Microwave Oven Test

That guy is some weirdo trying gain 1 minute of fame ............... at the expense of those who get fooled by him :what:
 

Certain equipment has to go through such EMC immunity tests anyway. But I don't think they can take the microwave full power. The LCD panel would have cracked.

I've also saw this same guy dropping the D3 from a certain height. How high? I have no idea at all due to the video camera is just aiming at the ground. The cell phone didn't make it anyway. And I believe that camera is no a D3 either. :bsmilie:
 

I think it's fake.. Either it's set on extremely low power or it's not even on. The oven light should be on when it's running but it doesn't seem to be in the video.

That's true man! Oven lights will turn on during micro-waving. :confused:
 

Don't think the microwave was even switched on! The interior light will come on when the door is opened, and when the microwave is in operation, in order to view the rotating tray.

I don't see any lights on the LCD panel of the microwave oven too.
 

I did some google search and found this statement on the Nikon D3 brochure found on page 15 of the pdf file on the upper left hand corner.

" Countermeasures against dust, moisture and electromagnetic interference The D3 goes the extra mile to protect against invasive moisture, dust and even electromagnetic interference. A comprehensive series of O-rings and other specialized seals, combined with additional Nikon engineering, keeps you shooting when lesser cameras would fail."

Would this statement justify why the guy placed the Nikon D3 inside the microwave?

I'm not sure if microwave radiation and EMI are similar with regards to frequency...Any electronics or electrical engineer my comment or shed some light. ;)

Every electronic equipment has to pass EMI/EMC tests or they will not be approved by FCC and CISPR. It does not mean that they are immune to the kind of microwave power inside the over. In fact the oven has to pass EMC emission standards also but that's for the radiation outside the oven. ;p

Even if the camera can survive the kind of power, which I'm quite sure no piece of electronic equipment can except certain military spec equipment designed to take this kind of turture, the user will be cooked first. ;p
 

ITS FAKE LA..any cloth material ( the camera strap ) will burn in the microwave oven. the guy didnt even program the microwave, just pretending to work on some buttons. its fake, dont fall for it.
 

this (i refering to the bugger 'toasting' his D3) is bo liao.

lets move on people, shall we? :)
