At first glance, Nikon D3x looks to be a clone of the Nikon D3, with twice the megapixels and price. Though after a more thorough analysis of both cameras, the differences between the two are revealed. Nikon D3x specifically targetted the professional photographers, who need and require higher resolution images, and image quality.

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.
