D3s is official

Wow, these are looking pretty incredible. Like many others here I did think that the Hi3 ISO setting was going to look pretty horrific and was a simple exercise in marketing. Whilst you (obviously) wouldn't wish to use this setting unless you really had too I'm still very impressed with what has been achieved.

The ISO 6400 shots look about as grainy as ISO 1000 on my D200!!!

Really remarkable high ISO. Very impressive!

I was skeptical at the Nikon-supplied high ISO shots on their website, but these shots are truly impressive!

I'd bet that Hi3 ISO would look pretty sweet rendered in gray scale (i.e. black and white).

My only quesetion is, why do some of these shots have strange ISO numbers? 10159? 8063? Is that a Nikon thing?

Nikon has an auto ISO feature where it automatically compensates the ISO in relation to what the meter reads combined with your aperture and shutter speed.

Sometimes when you shoot like this, it gives you oddball ISOs.

Yeah, Canon auto ISO does it too.

Funny that I've never seen this, but then I don't know when the last time I used auto ISO was either, certainly not in low light. I'll check through the exif data to see if I've ever had an occurrence of this and just not noticed.
