Description: Nikon D3X Extreme resolution 24.5-megapixel FX-format Camera
I've shot a quite a bit with a D200, and even more using a D3, however, I need to tell you - this camera delivers truly astonishing photographs. Harmonized with a congruent lens, image detail turns out simply astonishing, while other attributes, the more potentially biased ones such as color and contrast, are a challenge to describe however are incomparable for professional shooting, and surpasses the D3's already top-notch capabilities.
This camera can be counted on to acquire the shot...which is where handling comes to play. In my opinion, the D3X is, quite possibly the supreme-handling DSLR camera body in the entire world. Just an amalgamation of the AF system, metering system and camera controls The D3x handles indistinguishable from the D3 (apart from the frame rate), being precisely the thing I would have wished for.
The Nikon D3x delivers the most superb picture quality in a DSLR camera the whole world has witnessed up till now. All that online whimpering and whining over the price won't alter the quality truth, I'm not in love with the price either. However if you desire or need the very best DSLR in today's marketplace, the D3x is your kind of camera. In fact, I lost all desire to shoot the Nikon D3 and it all comes down to spectacular image quality.
