I've just charged the huge battery on my new Nikon D3 and immediately switched it to continuous high speed mode. Held down the shutter release button for 1 1/2 seconds and then looked at the number of shots the camera had released. 16! Hell, I won't be doing that again unless I'm looking at capturing a fleeting moment. It's super fast but sounds like the shutter can handle the punishment.
I then used the default setting of jpeg (fine) and changed the settings to ISO 800 on manual at 1/200 sec f/2.8 for an inside shot. I normally wouldn't use jpeg as I'm a RAW shooter through and through but I want to know how this camera processes jpeg images. I'll have to see how they turn out in Lightroom. By all accounts while viewing the 3 inch LCD, image colour, saturation, hue and contrast are very impressive! At this point I would be comfortable heading outside and shooting in jpeg mode. And that's a biggy for me. I'll post some images early next week when I get back from Melbourne.
Moving from a Nikon D200 to a D3 appears to be a fairly easy transition but I'm sure it'll take me a while to understand what this unit can do.
