There's quite a misconception out there thinking massive low-noise advantages can come over night. Nikon somehow seem to imply that they defy physics that all other mortals have to obey. Interestingly enough, in the midst of these supposed noise improvements, Nikon cameras are the least used in astrophotography* applications for some reasons explained in the first link below. The other links are also related to the same topic of "cooking RAW files" or manipulating the data captured by the sensor before writing them to the RAW files.

And what exactly is new here? It's been long known that Nikon cameras aren't very well suited for astrophotography, but that doesn't change the fact that the D3s is the best high-ISO camera on the market...
