That photo is the best ISO 6400 example I have ever seen (considering noise, dr and colours).

Not bad, but I don't think the processing on these is the best.
Look at the blown highlights in the pictures of the girl.

Those blown highlights are from the bright windows in the background.. hardly something to complain about. You'd probably get a similar result out of every other DSLR.

Thanks for sharing.
My EXIF viewer (Opanda) shows ISO 6400 and exposure bias value -1EV.
How does it counts to real ISO?
Click to expand...
It is real ISO6400 unless you bring it up in PP with +1 EV

the 6400 and 3200 images. Yes, the noise is relatively low for the
ISO speed, but the quality and the colors look washed out and the
skin tones are not beautiful in high ISO.

I disagree. You have to take into consideration of the lighting in that ISO3200 shot, and also the model's pale skin. I don't see the noise affecting colour at these ISO's yet.

Canon sample at 100iso and D3 at 3200 iso. I may be missing something here but as far as I can see the 3200iso Nikon image skin tones are more saturated.



What I find really interesting is that the 85 1.4 doesn't seem to be demonstrating much if any purple/green CA in the out of focus areas, it normally behaves in a similar fashion to the 85 1.2 Canon. If you look closely at the the full res version of the redhead you can see it clearly in the highlights on the pearls, the Nikon sample is very clean and also doesn't seem to be exhibiting any vignetting. I know the 85 1.4 inside out and the D3 sample looks great.
 
noise control and dynamic range seems to be good.

CA control seems very good.

But where's the detail? Maybe two layers of microlenses and an AA filter stripped to much of the resolving power...

Or maybe the jpg engine sucks, so better wait for proper files to evaluate :)

I suppose that could be the built in Automatic CA correction in the D3 doing that.

That D3 shot was taken with the 24-70 f/2.8.

I don't know I'm looking at picture "pic005b.jpg" the focus point is on her chin, and I can see the peach fuzz hairs on he chin and the contact lens in her right eye. And it is a JPEG using the standard picture control settings.

The shot I posted was from the 24-70 - the 85 1.4 image is at the bottom of the samples page.
 
I am so impressed, thanks for the link Naoki, I like your pictures too, I bet you will soon add a new camera to your arsenal!

The D3 redefines image quality and Nikon is indeed defying the limits of possibilities.

Great things to come!!!
 
the images look superb. I dont care whether NR is on or off for the 3200 or 6400 iso images, they are fantastic and totally useable.

Should be interesting what the measurebators do with these shots, and the Canon defenders have to say. Will be an interesting time here.

Those that waited for these new bodies will be well rewarded.

Thanks for posting.

Low noise but low detail too at ISO 3200 and 6400. Too much NR.

I do like the samples though. Manufacturers images are often really quite poor.
