PBase D3x vs D3 Noise Test
Nikon D3x vs Nikon D3 on Noise
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before, but a bit ago, PBase put up a quick comparison between the Nikon D3x noise and the D3’s noise.
Apparently, the D3 is the low-noise Emperor while the D3x does a respectable job, especially given its megapixel count.
From quickly looking at the shots from the D3x, you produce (what looks to me) like a much sharper shot at a NR setting of “Low” than you’d get without any NR. But that might just be their setup.
