Nikon buffs up D3 shooting
Thursday, 31 July 2008 15:10 GMT
Nikon has announced a memory upgrade for its flagship D3 DSLR. The service, which is already available, will increase the continuous shooting buffer from 16 to 36 shots for those people shooting 14-bit lossless NEF raw files. In most filetype/compression permutations, users can expect to see around a doubling of shooting buffer. Owners wishing to upgrade are advised to contact their local service center. The price will be £300+VAT in the UK, and $500+tax in the USA.
Nikon is pleased to announce a buffer memory expansion service for the D3 Digital SLR camera. After the camera has been upgraded, the number of shots possible with a single burst of continuous shooting is increased. This increase in shooting performance will expand the range of shooting possibilities.
This service starts from 30th July 2008. Contact a Nikon repair centre for more information regarding the cost of the upgrade and how long it will take. Click here to find your nearest Nikon repair centre. Note that the customer is responsible for all shipping costs, both to and from service.
When returning a camera for this service, include a note specifically requesting the "D3 buffer memory expansion" with your personal details. Please be aware that all camera settings will be reverted to their default settings once this service has been performed.
