D3s's 12k iso sample (bear



) looks better than D3 6400 iso sample?(guy withsaxophone



)
 
No I see it too, but that may have been an early firmware, it's 640ISO and other shots at 6400 are very nice, good colors, no hint of banding at all.

The first shot is very good for ISO6400. Colors are well preserved, details shown no extra jpeg NR at work. Even if it's just 1/2 stop better than D3, it'd be a great accomplishment to top the high ISo leader in an midterm update.

I'm hopeful re DR in low ISO as well.

Good shooting and good luck

Well, I think this migh not be a big problem - note the date when were the photos taken (preproduction camera) and note banding is only in animal shots by one photographer - in one camera. This can be problem of only one camera.
 
...how they could be so incompetent as to let a photo with banding show up on a samples gallery.

Well, choosing sample photos is a marketing issue and the problem is not very obvious - I myself did not notice it when I viewed pictures for the first time. These photos probably did not go through some rigorous technical and nit-picking controll...
 
Although I wonder how much is the result of sensor hardware improvements and how much is improved processing. What improvement will I see if I process NEFs with Capture One, which is my preferred converter? Or Lightroom or Aperture?

On the other hand, I do see the banding others are talking about pretty clearly in the eagle shot. That's not so hot at ISO 640.

It seems that bands are 12 pixels wide.

100% crop from upper part of fifth sample photo.

 
Well I don't know personally.

I get that quality at iso6400 with my d700 under the right conditions and processed with NX2.

Also the 12800 don't look much better either.

I'll wait for the reviews but I don't see the improvement.

Not that is needed as the d700 is everything I wanted and I have no intention to change it any time soon. :)

Huh? I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. No way, hands down, I think D3 6400 ISO looks a lot better than D3s' 12K ISO, which it should.

Do you really believe Nikon have put effort in redesigning the sensor and uppdated other specs without gaining any real improvement i IQ? Is the stretch in ISO-numbers only symbolic and a marketing shocker? Would Nikon release the only s-uppdate to date with expanded ISO-range and not ground it in actual sensor refinement?
 
Could only see the reflection of his eyes
 
If you are using something to market your camera then you absolutely MUST have rigorous QC of the sample images. Anything less is a big mistake.
