We thought that all of the new cameras were already introduced this fall when Nikon surprised us yesterday with their new flagship DSLR . And,boy did I do a Phil Rizutto when I read the specs on this one! Allow me to introduce you to The Nikon D3S...
Available at the end of November at an estimated street price of $5199, The D3S will provide professional photographers with a powerful tool that redefines the boundaries of digital SLR versatility, while maintaining the strength of superior image quality and high speed performance inherited from the groundbreaking D3. The D3S enables not only new opportunities in low-light photography, but also provides photographers with added shutter speed and aperture freedom with a base ISO sensitivity range from ISO 200 to a remarkable 12,800. Additionally, expanded ISO equivalent settings up to a staggering 102,400 (what?!? ) are available, enabling photographers to create images previously thought impossible. The D3S achieves a new standard for D-SLR performance and utilizes a newly designed, Nikon original 12.1-megapixel FX-format CMOS sensor that also integrates its amazing low-light ability to High Definition (HD) video, creating a uniquely capable multi-media tool to meet the needs of a changing imaging landscape.
To make it short & sweet, a full frame pro level DSLR with HD video! For more details, here's a great preview from Damon Webster & Photoinduced .com:

Breaking news, just in from Melville,N.Y... (Always wanted to do that!) Nikon also has introduced a cool new AF-S DX Macro Lens, the AF-S DX 85mm f/3.5 MICRO NIKKOR , which will be available in early December with a street price of $529.
Makes you wonder if anyone else will bring out any other cameras for the holidays! Hmmm... Maybe at the Photo Plus Expo coming up next weekend at the Javits Center in NYC. (By the way, I'll post a report on the goings-on next Friday...)
