D3 vs D3X
by Dr. Rudy Dusslier and Stany Buyle
 


Lowlight images
X
I thought it might be interesting to see how D3x behaves in comparison with D3 about noise @ different iso settings in a  low light situation with crops of the bright and the shadow areas.

These pictures were on purpose a little bit overexposed while using matrix which gives a positive effect in relation to noise @ high iso.

The scene:

5

*24-70 @ F7.1
*Original in camera settings: matrix, RAW, neutral, sharpness 1, noise reduction OFF
*Converted to tiff and resized, converted to jpeg.

 

 

D3

  

D3X

iso 200, matrix metering,AWB, noise reduction off, "neutral" in-camera shooting mode, sharpening 1. Lens:24-70 F2.8
   
       
iso 1600, matrix metering,AWB, noise reduction off, "neutral" in-camera shooting mode, sharpening 1. Lens:24-70 F2.8
   
       
iso 3200, matrix metering,AWB, noise reduction off, "neutral" in-camera shooting mode, sharpening 1. Lens:24-70 F2.8
   
       
iso 6400, matrix metering,AWB, noise reduction off, "neutral" in-camera shooting mode, sharpening 1. Lens:24-70 F2.8
   

 

crops for detail, resolution and noise comparison in the bright areas:

The crop you see underneath is this:

 

D3 D3X D3 D3X
iso 200 iso 1600
       
iso 3200(Hi-1 for D3x) iso 6400(Hi-2 for D3x)

 

crops for detail, resolution and noise comparison in the shadow areas:

The crop you see underneath is this:

 

D3 D3X
