Sweet Jesus! ISO 102,400!!!!!! My god....

"Nikon has unveiled the D3S professional DSLR. The new model is an upgrade to the popular D3 and comes with 720p HD video recording and a sensitivity range up to ISO 102,400 for improved low light performance. Images are captured on a new 36 x 23.9 mm CMOS sensor and buffer size has been increased for 48 RAW frames in one burst. Futher improvements include a faster contrast detect AF in Live View and in-camera RAW-processing. Body shape, quality and operation are virtually identical to the D3."

shame, i wanted a ff body with video but not at a 5000 dollar pricetag.

I guess ill just wait. If this is what they are using to compete with the 5d mkII Nikon priced me out. all well. I think it's time i finally pick up a d700. maybe get a d5000 for video.

I think you need to go back to canon. The 7D blows away anything in it's price class....and if you want FF, then the 5D mkII is there.

There's the Fuji 1600. I think that's the only one now.

I think we're starting to see Canon's experience in the HD video field to come through on their SLRs now... the 7D is the perfect example for this, being able to shoot at 24fps and 60fps and at 720p/1080p for $2100.

For some people this would be a big-deal, but for others that see no value ( past the initial phase of "oh wow I can shoot video with my SLR camera!" ) in video capability, this may not be as big of a selling point as others - say, the D3s' supposedly 2-stop improvement in low light shooting, compared to the original D3 (which itself has a 2-stop advantage over most cropped-sensor SLRs)?

Hmmm.. what is more important - being able to shoot comfortably at ISO 12,800, or being able to take short HD video clips at 1080p/24?

Interesting times in this hobby, indeed. :)

wait for the D700x/s, it'll have the same (or better) HD video specs as this new D3s.

we should see something being announced early next year (which is really just a few months away).
