Good initial review Will (as ever!)

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

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_Cam... is this the best price ? I guess, BHPhoto is trusted by you.

Thanks awaiting reply - please.

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.
