14-bit A/D conversion, 12-channel readout.Multi-CAM3500FX autofocus sensor (51-point, 15 cross-type).
11 frames per second in continuous and DX mode. 12.1 megapixel full-frame (36 x 24 mm) sensor. The D3S offered the same 12MP resolution as the D3, but Nikon expanded its native ISO range to 200-12,800, expandable up to ISO 102,400. These included a 'Quiet' shutter release mode, an increased image buffer and automatic in-camera dust reduction. The two DSLRs were very similar, but the ‘S’ model incorporated some significant additions, including a new 1280x720p video capture mode and several minor tweaks designed to make it more competitive against the likes of the Canon EOS 1D Marks III and IV. I was a freelance music photographer back then, and my main camera was the D3S’s immediate predecessor, the D3. My review of the D3S was published in February 2010, three months after I joined the DPReview team. 
It was of the Nikon D3S – a camera that, as it happens, I still own. And, of course, the news prompted me to think back on my thirteen years of writing for the site, and recall my first proper review. The news that, after 25 years, DPReview would soon be closing its doors forever came as a shock to me, as I’m sure it did to many of the people reading this.
