Manufacturer's Description
Nikon introduces its new top-of-the-range premium D-SLR - the D3X. Building on the reliability, handling and durability of the award-winning D3, the D3X offers an imaging sensor with over twice the resolution of the revolutionary D3, breaking new ground in image quality

The all-new 24.5MP CMOS sensor makes the new model eminently suitable for the broadest range of shooting situations, both in the studio and on location - ideal for photographers seeking unrivalled detail

The World is Your Studio

The D3X boasts a specially-developed FX-format CMOS image sensor with 12-channel readout, gapless micro lens array and on-chip noise reduction. It delivers class-leading levels of continuous shooting speed and noise management at higher sensitivities without sacrificing detail

The D3X supports a broad ISO range from ISO 100-1600, extendable down to ISO 50 and up to 6400 equivalent with up to 5 fps continuous shooting at full resolution, or 7 fps in the 10MP DX-crop mode. The acclaimed MultiCAM3500FX 51-point autofocus system enables extreme accuracy with outstanding dynamic tracking for fast moving subjects in low light

The camera's LiveView function offers a smooth workflow option, perfect for studio work or other situations where the use of the viewfinder is impractical. The camera also delivers a superb response rate, with a start-up of just 12 milliseconds and 40ms shutter lag. The Kevlar/carbon fibre composite shutter has been designed for intensive professional needs and tested to 300,000 cycles

Images with the X factor

The D3X reaps the benefits of the very latest developments in sensor design and image processing technology. Designed to produce files suitable to meet the demands of tomorrow's commercial and stock requirements, the camera produces 50MB 14-bit NEF (Raw) files. Using Capture NX2 software, NEF files can be processed into medium format terrain;140MB (16-bit TIFF-RGB). Fine details are reproduced with incredible clarity, whilst shadows and highlights contain tonal gradation with minimal clipping for pictures with a unique look and feel

Intuitive control

The D3X shares the same ergonomics and handling as the D3, which have been designed to enable anyone to get to work quickly and efficiently. The bright, uncluttered viewfinder features 100% coverage and comprehensive illuminated displays, while the high-definition, 3-inch, 920,000-dot VGA TFT monitor enables outstanding playback quality for on-the-spot image assessment. The D3X's magnesium body, which is sealed for moisture and dust resistance, also supports Nikon's wireless system (the WT-4), HDMI output, offers a dual slot for CF cards and is compatible with the new GP-1 GPS unit.

Heavy but impressive
Nikon D3x Digital Camera (Body Only)

I am not a professional not yet, I study Photography and this camera is an encouragement from my husband as I finished second year, but I can say only few words and hopefully it helps.

The camera has a solid feeling to it and the sharpness is incredible, if I managed to print 2m image out of Nikon D80, imagine what size I can print out of this monster?!

I have taken few portraits with it and the focus is brilliant, the only thing is, it is so clear that scares me seeing all the details of the skin.

I wish this few words helps, but sure some professionals will write a better review about this camera.

In my opinion is well worth the money considering it helps me learning direct with professional equipment, so I recommend this camera to anyone who wants to improve their work.

After hesitating about the price I decided to take the plunge..
This is a fantastic professional camera that is a bargain in real terms.
I even use it mounted on the back of my 5"x4" and obtain medium format results from its sensor.
Buy one you will not regret it.....!!!
