Nikon D700 or D3s ?

AAC

用緊D300 加 70-200 zoom VRII / 17-55 f/2.8 影低光室內會議相，多數不能用閃光燈。但發覺在iso 1600-3200 期間 noise 超勁，請問各位高手，如果upgrade 上 d700，效果會否大大提高 ？又或者儲多些錢，直上D3s，就會一勞永逸 ？

use a slower shutter and get a f1.4 prime

To maintain a bit more DOF and remain reasonable sharpness in hand held situation, using higher ISO within it's quality range is a good idea. But I'm using Canon, no comments on Nikon though.

D3s is the best ultra high iso DSLR in the market now ..

However, up to ~ iso 3200, you are not going to see the different between D700/D3/D3s/5DII/1D4 ..

And how often you need iso 3200? taking bullet shoot??

When I was consider D3 and D700 ~ 2yr ago, I picked D700, not just because it is less money, (cost for body is just minor compare to the whole system) as their AF system are identical, exact sensor, same metering system, exact same picture outcome, main different is 8fps vs 9fps, longer shutter life on D3 (300k vs 200K app.) and slightly strong body .. (but doesn't fit me .. )

ISO 3200 at f2.8 would be situations where I can't even see your face clearly within 5 feet.

Regarding hand shake, how much shake there is depends on your skill.  In a meeting situation, I can't imagine everyone is dancing like Michael Jackson.

I don't think ISO3200 is within my mentioned "quality range" though, no matter which camera and model. (that's why it's not me to mention about using 3200! haha) And I don't think any "skillful" person can hand held a camera in 5 secs without any shake (maybe some people said they can, because they haven't blow up the pics to check!). It's not about how skillful the person is, human has limits.

如果只係需要個藉口來買新玩具嘅話，咁就 go all out，哪哪聲去買咗部 D3s 啦～

如果唔係，其實俾幾廿蚊去買 Noise Ninja 咪算數囉～

why do you need 5 secs?

f2.8 at 1/25 is more than enough for most indoor lightings.

and with IS, you can easily shoot 1/10 without shake

D3s is really another class.  File is very clean.

Or just get a flash if it is low light.
