Nikon D3x’s key feature and selling point is its 24.5 megapixel FX-Format (35.9 x 24.00 mm) CMOS sensor. With this format, it allows professional photographers to shoot and keep large amounts of image data. Because of this, D3x is able to deliver sharp and vibrant images even when it is enlarged to billboard size proportions.

With the huge amount of image data available for each picture, memory shouldn’t be a concern. Nikon D3x is equipped with a Dual CF card slot that provides overflow, backup and copy options.

Another attractive feature of the Nikon D3x is that it allows low noise ISO sensitivity. Amazingly, Nikon D3x ISO settings are versile and extendable; it’s ISO ranges from 50-6400. Combine this with one of Nikon D3x’s 51-point AF system modes, and you’ll get an accurate and razor-sharp picture, even in low light situations.

Nikon D3x also comes in 2 live view shooting modes, 100% viewfinder coverage, guaranteed 4,400 images per battery charge and continuous shooting up to 5 fps at full FX-format resolution.

All of these though come in a $7,000 price tag. If you’re a new budding photographer, Nikon D3x may just be too heavy for you.

For those interested in digital photography, the Nikon D3X is one device that is worth looking into. Using the Nikon FX-format CMOS image sensor, it allows the photographer to make use of 24.5 effective megapixels in every shot. The noise control from ISO 100 up to ISO 1600 is considered by many as exceptional. The EXPEED image processing system that is incorporated into the Nikon D3X makes use of a robust CPU capable of 16-bit processing of shot images. This device was also designed to implement a 5fps continuous shooting feature under FX format and up to 7fps using DX crop mode. The Scene Recognition System used by Nikon generates more accurate AWB, AE, and AF results. For Nikon D3X prices and additional information, check out the Nikon website.
