Nikon D3 - ISO 5000 image

Here is a very interesting image taken with the Nikon D3 at ISO 5000 (Osaka games). As you can see, the high sensitivity images are quite usable which gives you an indication of the sensitivity of this new camera. It's good to see Nikon competing head on with one of the major strengths that Canon has in its DSLR - the silky smooth low noise CMOS sensor.

The gap is now closing for what use to be a major advantage and competitive edge for Canon DSLR. The constant patriotic salute to the high ISO sensor in almost every digital photography forum is slowly being eroded away. Horary for competition.
