Why "KR" series rate autofocus Nikon D3 …?
… as superior to the D300s?? Are not they the same? You pros picture know who I'm talking about (Ken Rockwell). Is he joking or is actually superior to the movement, and why too?, Nobody knows what which is the deadline for the video clips in the d3s? Its 5 minutes in the D300s – is longer or the same in the d3s? Thanks for that information as well – if any. Good one you please answer the question instead of castigating Ken Rockwell? I do not always agree with what he says and I read the page on which he himself says to himself taken too seriously. Many people do not agree with what "KR" he says, but much of what he says is correct. Why is the series D3 autofocus D300 series over? No one has yet responded to that!
He says: "While the D300 has the same AF sensor and adjustments as the D3, the D300 lacks power D3's computer to interpret these data as fast. The D300 does not always know which sensor to use with fast enough, so if it is too slow to you at the Big White Rectangle mode, you may need to use the old fashioned ways of collecting the AF sensors yourself. "Maybe that's why. The hardware is the same but the software is better. For the manual approach, the obvious answer would be the viewfinder bigger and brighter.
