Nikon D3 vs D3s
Nikon has just announced the new Nikon D3s, so I decided to post a quick comparison between the old Nikon D3 and the new Nikon D3s in this "Nikon D3 vs D3s" article.

The new Nikon D3s is in many ways a new generation camera. When Nikon adds a letter to a camera (such as "X" or "S"), it typically means that it is an update to its current line, most likely with the same Expeed processor. The new D3s, though, despite featuring the same physical processor, is a whole new world when it comes to sensor technology. Just looking at the images and comparing the ISO performance of the older D3 and the new D3s, I can conclude that the new D3s has a 1.5 to 2 stop advantage over D3, which is remarkable. Nikon was able to achieve this by keeping the same number of pixels as in D3, but increasing the pixel pitch, which resulted in increased sensitivity of the sensor.
