Of course, neither a Nikon 24.5-megapixel FX-format CMOS sensor nor 138 MB files are of value unless they deliver truly superior image quality. And in this regard, the new D3X exceeds expectations. Like its 12.1-megapixel D3 counterpart, the D3X features Nikon’s exclusive EXPEED image processing technologies teamed with the proprietary Nikon Scene Recognition System to ensure the utmost in image fidelity, low noise, faster, more accurate autofocus and amazing file processing speed that makes continuous shooting at up to five frames per second possible. In addition, the D3X’s ISO sensitivity range of 100 to 1600 (with Lo1, 50 and Hi 2 up to 6400) is mindful of the needs of photographers specializing in commercial, fashion and fine art photography. <br> <br> <strong>Nikon Professional D-SLR System Synergy</strong><br> Nikon engineers understand that the needs of professional photographers vary with their assignments. Nikon also understands that a photographer's workflow can be seriously impacted by cameras with widely dissimilar handling, which is why the D3X takes its design cues from the enormously successful D3. Logical and familiar control layout integrates with rugged, reliable construction. And like the D3, the D3X features Nikon’s 51-point AF system with 3D focus tracking. A bright 3-inch super-density 920,000-dot LCD monitor offers precise image review, along with razorsharp, 27x magnification for fast, critical confirmation of focus in one of two Live View modes, all of which contribute to the D3X’s professional potency. <br> <br> <strong>More Nikon D3X Highlights</strong> <br> </p> <p><img style="width: 300px;

When the Nikon D3 was announced in August 2007 it did not carry an 'H' in its name but was clearly designed for speed. So the question wasn't if, but when, Nikon would launch a high-resolution counterpart. It arrived, after more than a year of eager anticipation, in the shape of the Nikon D3X in December 2008. <br> <br> Superficially, the new flagship is the D3's identical twin. The body, controls, user interface and also a large proportion of the camera's electronic and mechanical innards have been carried over directly from the D3. The camera's core component, however, is brand new. The 36 x 23.9 mm CMOS sensor provides a resolution of 24.5 megapixels, and while this is - compared to the D3 - a massive jump in resolution, D3X users have to accept a smaller range of sensitivity (ISO 100 to 1600, extendable to ISO 50 to 6400) and slower continuous shooting of five frames per second (7 fps in DX mode) in return. <br> <br> While the only other piece of news - the 'Extra High' setting for Active D-Lighting - won't make much difference for most users, the premium that Nikon is charging for the extra resolution most certainly will. For $8000 retail price you can bag yourself almost two D3s. The D3X is also roughly $1500 more expensive than its only real competitor in terms of specification and features, the Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III. This won't make the professionals who this cameras is targeted at contemplate changing systems, but can a camera be worth the equivalent amount of a small car? Read on and find out in our in-depth review of the Nikon D3X. <br> <br> <b>></b><a target="new" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120218024335/http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond3x/">Read more at dpreview.com </p> </p> </div> </div> </div> <div id="footer"> <p> </p> <a href="/web/20120218024335/http://astore.amazon.com/nikorumo-20">Nikon Rumors Online Store</a> | <a href="/web/20120218024335/http://astore.amazon.com/nikorumo-20/cart">Shopping Cart</a> | <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120218024335/http://nikonrumors.com/" target="_top" rel="nofollow">NikonRumors</a> <br/>  <p> </p> </div> </div> <div id="sidebar"> <ul id="widget"> <li class="widget"> <h3>Browse by Category</h3> <div id="searchbrowse"> <div id="homelink"><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120218024335/http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=nikorumo-20&linkCode=sb1&camp=212353&creative=380557" target="_blank"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120218024335im_/http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/associates/network/amazon-logos/powered-by-amazon-w._V156424140_.png" width="87" alt="Powered by Amazon.com" name="pngImage" height="25" border="0"/></a></div> <hr> <a href="/web/20120218024335/http://astore.amazon.com/nikorumo-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=27">NEW NIKON PRODUCTS</a><br/><a href="/web/20120218024335/http://astore.amazon.com/nikorumo-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=1">Nikon Bodies</a><br/><a href="/web/20120218024335/http://astore.amazon.com/nikorumo-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=15">Nikkor Wide-Angle</a><br/><a href="/web/20120218024335/http://astore.amazon.com/nikorumo-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=18">Nikkor Wide-Angle Zoom</a><br/><a href="/web/20120218024335/http://astore.amazon.com/nikorumo-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=16">Nikkor Standard</a><br/><a href="/web/20120218024335/http://astore.amazon.com/nikorumo-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=19">Nikkor Standard Zoom</a><br/><a href="/web/20120218024335/http://astore.amazon.com/nikorumo-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=17">Nikkor Telephoto</a><br/><a href="/web/20120218024335/http://astore.amazon.com/nikorumo-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=20">Nikkor Telephoto Zoom</a><br/><a href="/web/20120218024335/http://astore.amazon.com/nikorumo-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=23">Nikkor Perspective Control</a><br/><a href="/web/20120218024335/http://astore.amazon.com/nikorumo-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=22">Nikkor Macro</a><br/><a href="/web/20120218024335/http://astore.amazon.com/nikorumo-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=24">Nikkor Teleconverters</a><br/><a href="/web/20120218024335/http://astore.amazon.com/nikorumo-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=6">Nikon Flashes</a><br/><a href="/web/20120218024335/http://astore.amazon.com/nikorumo-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=8">Nikon Books</a><br/><a href="/web/20120218024335/http://astore.amazon.com/nikorumo-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=13">Nikon DVD</a><br/><a href="/web/20120218024335/http://astore.amazon.com/nikorumo-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=11">Nikon Bags</a><br/><a href="/web/20120218024335/http://astore.amazon.com/nikorumo-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=12">Nikon Batteries</a><br/><a href="/web/20120218024335/http://astore.amazon.com/nikorumo-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=25">Nikon Film Scanners</a><br/><a href="/web/20120218024335/http://astore.amazon.com/nikorumo-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=7">Nikon Accessories</a><br/><a href="/web/20120218024335/http://astore.amazon.com/nikorumo-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=26">Nikon Software</a><br/><a href="/web/20120218024335/http://astore.amazon.com/nikorumo-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=14">Sigma Lenses (Nikon mount)</a><br/> <hr/> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120218024335/http://nikonrumors.com/" target="_top" rel="nofollow">NikonRumors</a> </div> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </body>  </html>
