Readers of BJP will have eagerly devoured the article this week comparing the D3 with Canon's 1D Mk III.
Some, who like me might be doing some research on what system to plump for will be concerned by the comments therein on focuing problems. Reading between the lines this only seems to affect the camera when used with the 70-200mm/2.8 VR (although that isn't stated as such by the author), and of course he only used two optics; that and the 24-70mm/2.8. Any comments from the users here?
Also, in one of the pictures used to illustrate the piece - the Buddhist demo, taken with the Nikon 24-70mm - there is a most curious (and to my eyes, unpleasant) effect where the two foreground figures appear to have been pasted in. Is this a normal thing from the D3, or something to do with the post-processing, or what? I'd guess the shot was takeen at maximum aperture, as with those on the 70-200mm lenses used in the test, so how about trying to recreate this. If it's a normal thing it has put me off somewhat.
