Nikon D3x Noise Test at Various ISO’s
Nikon D3x Noise / Sample Shots / Review
iZyz has some still-life studio shots of a doll at all of the Nikon D3x’s ISO speeds.
No noise reduction claimed, no post.
Impressions- without NR, you won’t want to go above 200 iso if you don’t have to. Expose to the right. 3200 iso is only if you can’t get the shop any other way- but you’d be silly to use the D3x at 3200- that’s what the D3’s for.

too bad the background is blue
even a monkey knows the blue channel has the most noise on every camera…
basically another dumb “test”

This test sure looks bad and I don´t believe it will be representative för what the camera can deliver. The photographer have not just made the misstake with a blue background. The photo is underexposed, oversaturated and sharpened in camera with setting 3. I have downloaded a different ISO 3200 raw-file from D2X and converted it in View NX and that file looks much better.

I mean D3X of course…

nah- this lets you know what your worst-case scenario is going to be and choosing between ’show me worst’ and ’show me best’, I’d choose ‘worst’ every time- then I can’t be surprised on the down-side.
