Nikon D3 Camera

The D3 does not have a built in flash, so the only time it will fire a flash is when one is attached and turned on.

Nikon D3 digital SLR camera review by What Digital Camera magazine: Part 2. Part two: uk.youtube.com More photography advice at: www ...

I am attending an art school for photography and need a really good digital, but the Nikon D3 which they encourage is way out of my price range--come on, I'm a student!! Is there anything nearly as good but less expensive?

I have to scratch my head and wonder why a school would want a student starting out in photography to go out and buy one of the industry's top end cameras?!?!? As an art director in a communications firm, we successfully produce photography with much more moderate equipment.

I can recommend Nikon D200 and D80 bodies as very cost-effective platforms to start with. They have more features than most photographers will ever use. The D300 is a fairly recent addition and exceeds the capabilities of the D200. What's more important for your needs is to spend the money on what's really critical... the glass on the front of the camera. Don't be talked into buying consumer grade "super" zooms and budget lenses. Do your homework here and find good quality prime lenses whenever possible. Once you've got the process and techniques down, then you can move up to a high-end body and take the lenses with you.

It would be good if someone can provide me with a comparison between Nikon D3 and Fine Pix ProS 5 or other camera's in this price range.

Well you are comparing "Gravel to Stones" two different types of cameras. The Fujifilm one should be compared to the Nikon D300. Since the body is basically the same. The difference would be the sensors. Comparing the D3 to the Fine Pix, well D3 has full frame sensor. Looking at the D300 to D3, I personally went with D300, because I can get 3 for the price of one D3. It's the nearly the same for the S5. You can get three for the price of D3. D3 only shoots one more frame per second than the D300, but it shoots 3 more compared to the Fuji S5.

In summary if it's price, get the D300 over a S5, but if you can afford it go D3. D300 is great at higher ISO's, and personally I don't think anything can compare to it overall right now. I realize D3 does have the full frame sensor, but that doesn't necessarily mean much to most. Also to note, the Fuji will be using same lenses as the D300.

Last note, don't go Canon because someone who is too stubborn to switch tells you that you should.

Not a hope in hell of that being genuine.

Nikon don't give a 5 yr warranty (it says us warranty on the site) for one thing.
You would not be able to buy at that price from Nikon direct even if you worked there.

Ever heard the phrase "if it looks too good to be true......etc"

Normal as in AF vs. AF-S, yes they can use both.

Normal as in manual focus, yes they can use nearly all the Nikon lenses made since 1959.

Normal as in 50 mm prime lenses, of course

As can the Nikon D200, D2x and D300 (to name the latest pro and pro-bridge Nikons)
