Nikon Introduces D3S DSLR Camera

For those professional photographers who loved the high-end Nikon D3 DSLR camera, Nikon is hoping its next generation -- the D3S -- will keep D3 users in the family.

The D3S offers great low-light photography performance, offering a base ISO sensitivity ranging from 200 to 12,800. The D3S can shoot at an ISO equivalent sensitivity of up to 102,400.

Nikon has included an extremely large CMOS sensor inside the D3S, which aids in low-light performance. You also can shoot HD video with the D3S, which includes 12.1 megapixels of resolution, a sharp 3.0-inch LCD, and a long-life rechargeable battery. Look for the D3S to be available in November at a base price of about $5,200. For professional photographers, the D3S appears to be a very worth successor to the popular D3.
