Thanks for the link mj.

 

The first high ISO shot from Sandro is nice- showcases camera's ability. The rest aren't that stunning.

 

I can't understand why a mountain climber would be lugging a heavy camera to make pictures though.

Love those pictures, really impressive. Call me skeptic but the motorcycle images are the only ones that require a D3. Good drivers and good brave photographer. A good marketing move.

 

Thanks for the link.

I just received my D3 this evening along with the 24-70 2.8 and 14-24 2.8. I feel like a kid in a candy store. I can not believe the clarity and lack of noise at the high ISO settings. Looking forward to some of the other more experienced photographers on the forum reporting in.

Vivek, what do you mean by "a heavy camera?" Beth wasn't using the D3.

Not a D3?

 

Yeah, Walter wondering there about the need for a D3 for such shots has merit.

 

After a bit of searching, I find two bodies- a D2Xs and D200 and 3 lenses.

 

Still not very comfortable gear set for climbing rock cliffs with. May be the photog was put on a crane to make the shots. Any camera would have worked fine for that.
