Trackside with the D3S at the Nikon SuperGP
By Alexandra Savvides on 27 October 2009
The streets of Queensland's Gold Coast were transformed for four days in October for the Nikon SuperGP, with a host of cars being our test subjects for a range of Nikon digital SLRs.
From V8 supercars to classic roadsters, the SuperGP had it all. Fortunately, we had enough tools that were up to the job, from telephoto zooms to wide-angle lenses that suited the task. We tried out a range of cameras from the top-of-the-line FX sensor D3S, through to the D700, D90 and the babies of the bunch, the D5000 and D3000. Click through for plenty of pictures and a sample of video from the D3S.
Alexandra Savvides attended the SuperGP as a guest of Nikon.
Trackside before the race began, the streets of the Gold Coast were transformed from plain tarmac roads to the home of grandstands and tyre-squeals. Note the burning rubber in the background. We took this with the D700 and the new AF-S Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II lens.
