Oh yes and 'exclusive'? What's so different from when Matt got his hands on it a couple of weeks ago? Yes, he had to shoot under a table to test the high ISO but Will didn't get to take it out on a proper test run either. I'm failing to see the test or the 'exclusive' bit (personally, I don't care about exclusive - I care about the quality of the review).

Hi Jane
It would probably help if I gave some more detail.
Matt and I were both at the launch and it was me snapping under the table. However, the two cameras at the press launch were pre-production and we were not allowed to load a card, so our comments were based on the monitor image - which was hardly ideal. Moreover, we only had a few minutes with the camera because of the press scrum.
However, at the weekend I was at a dealer event where Nikon had a stand and I was informed that they had a D3S and the new 70-200mm - both were production models that could be used for evaluation and had literally just arrived in the UK. They were new even to the Nikon guys there.
Hence I borrowed the kit and the 'exclusive' tag.
I am keen to develop EPZ reviews so if you have any constructive feedback I will be delighted to hear from you or any one else so we can make them the quality that everyone deserves.

It seems like a nice camera - would like to get one found through the banner on your home page B&H http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/655574-REG/Nikon_25466_D3S_Digital_SLR_Camera.html is this the best price ? I guess, BHPhoto is trusted by you.

Yes B&H are trustworthy and our recommended partner for US sales. You'd have to shop around to see if they are the best price.

(Staggering and very usable results at the ISO top-end... Great for the Sports/News peeps.)
