Nikon D3s review
On Friday there was a Nikon sponsored presentation of the new Nikon D3s at the Zuerich Zoo. Unfortunately there were too many attendees, so that the time for playing with the camera was very (very) limited.
Here is my first impression:
- just as good (build-wise) as any one-digit D-camera from Nikon (D1, D2, D3, …)
- all the features a D3 has
- High ISO is amazing, ISO 10,000 still looks good to me
- Movie quality is outstanding (compared to my consumer digicam)
Update 20100218: It’s a great camera and the high ISOs work very well. I had a chance to take it to a test yesterday night when the police was arresting some people in the building opposite of my home:

Vierwaldstaetter See / Lake Lucerne 2008
Lake Lucerne (German: Vierwaldstättersee, lit. "Lake of the Four Forested Cantons") is a lake in central Switzerland and the fourth largest in the country. The lake is a complicated shape, with bends and arms reaching from the city of Lucerne into the mountains. It has a total area of 114 km² (44 sq mi), an elevation of 434 m (1,424 ft), and a maximum depth of 214 m (702 ft). Its volume is 11.8 km³. Much of the shoreline rises steeply into mountains up to 1,500 m above the lake, resulting in many picturesque views including those of Mount Rigi and Mount Pilatus. The Reuss River enters the lake at Flüelen (in the canton of Uri, the part called Urnersee) and exits at Lucerne. The lake also receives the Muota (at Brunnen) Engelberger Aa (at Buochs), the Sarner Aa (at Alpnachstad). It is possible to circumnavigate the lake by road, though the route is slow, twisted, and goes through tunnels part of the way. Dozens of steamers ply between the different towns on the lake. It is a popular tourist destination, both for native Swiss and foreigners, and there are many hotels and resorts along the shores. In addition, the meadow of the Rütli, traditional site of the founding of the Swiss Confederation, is on the southeast shore of the lake. A 35km commemorative walkway, the Swiss Path, was built around the lake to celebrate the country's 700th anniversary.
