For the digital photographer who likes to have complete control over every detail in his or her camera, the Nikon D3x is the one to choose. A close review of Nikon D3x shows a noticeable difference over an early on D3 digital SLR, that was widely recognized for its ergonomic design as well as excellent mobility. Bear in mind however that this isn’t any lightweight, the body alone coming in at 43 oz . (1.Two kg).
The biggest change can be seen in the sheer number of megapixels, imagine a mind boggling 24.5! Boasting Nikon’s new technology, FX-format CMOS sensor, this camera increases the sensing area to 35.9 x 24.0mm. That translates into maximum resolution. Although Trey Ratcliff acknowledges that this feature alone increases the sticker value substantially and is not necessary for small photographs, it is absolutely a must for him, since he wants every shot to be the best. He also comments that the resolution on the Nikon D3x makes it ideal for giant screens, even in very close range.
Another attraction on this model is the ability to shoot up to 5 frames per second at the highest resolution, and up to 7 frames per second in a lower resolution, the DX format in 10.5 megapixels. This aspect makes it a good choice for sports and nature photographers, when every fraction of a second makes the difference between a great shot and a mediocre one. Granted, it is not the fastest on the market, but this model does offer high ISO, starting at ISO 100 up to ISO 1600. If that were not enough, there are options to increase or decrease the sensitivity range. There are more options to adjust two stops higher or one stop lower, which further extends the ways shots can be taken, reaching a high of up to ISO 6400 or a low to ISO 50 again making this a suitable choice for photographers who like to control and predict exactly how each shot will turn out.
Some other advantages are the space for two CF credit cards and the battery life that will allow up to 4,400 images per charge. The computer monitor offers crystal clear viewing having a bright 3 inch super density 920,000 LCD display. Does Nikon D3x digital camera have any drawbacks? Trey Ratcliff, pointed out earlier, gripes of the action progression that’s programmed to be one step at any given time, whereas he would like to be able to program actions by twos. However, those particulars aside, he also states that this is the only digital camera he uses, since he requirements extreme reliability, not being able to backtrack or even return to far-flung areas. Certainly his pictures tend to be proof of the astonishing capacity of this camera.
The only other drawback for some may be the price. With a starting price of roughly 7 thousand dollars, not including any accessories or zooms, the reviewed Nikon D3x camera is definitely for professionals or those who only want the best. And sometimes only the best is good enough.
