Nikon's D3S Receives Best of What's New 2010 Award

We have considered Nikon cameras among the best for years. We're not alone. Nikon's D3S D-SLR was just announced the winner of Popular Science 2010 "Best of What's New" Award in the Gadgets category.

The FX-format D3S received the award from the Popular Science editors because of the cameras' ability to achieve new levels of low-light sensitivity for both photos and HD video, with an ISO sensitivity range from 200 to 12,800 (expandable to ISO 102,400!). Superior image quality and high-speed performance also helped the D3S achieve the "Best of What's New" Award.

"Best of What's New is more than a collection of new technologies and innovative products," said Mark Jannot, editor in chief of Popular Science. "It's a glimpse into the future, and gives us a sense of the way technology will continue to transform everything from our health and the environment to everyday life and even entertainment."

Best of What's New Awards are presented to 100 new products and technologies in 11 categories: Automotive, Aviation & Space, Computing, Engineering, Gadgets, Green Technology, Home Entertainment, Security, Home Technology, Health and Recreation. All of the winners will be featured in the December issue of Popular Science, which is on newsstands now. The story is also available online at www.popsci.com/bown.
