Nikon D3: First Impressions in The Field

"Nikon Professional Services (NPS) arranged for me to test a D3 for the Osaka project ,and quite honestly I was somewhat skeptical and not really in the mindset to test a new camera during a paying high pressured project, especially since shooting raws was going to be difficult, as there is not a lot of raw processing options for this pre-release camera.

I had never shot a job on jpegs so I thought I would shoot a few frames, say nice camera and hand it back.

I was wrong. I shot a few frames as a test, shot a few more, and over 7,000 frames later didn't put the camera down until NPS asked for it back."
