Review Nikon D3X

Since the launch of the Nikon D1X D1H simultaneously in 2001, Nikon D 'single digit' professionals have been divided into two series - X series is designed for the use of high resolution such as fashion or landscape photography and a series of H for use with high-speed photography as photography for sports activities( lower resolution but faster continuous shooting).

When the Nikon D3 was launched in August 2007,
this camera does not carry the series 'H' in their name but clearly designed for the use of which require speed. So, the question that arises is when the pair launched the Nikon D3 will be designed for high resolution. After awaited with high anticipate, Nikon D3X also present at the end of 2008.

When viewed directly, the second series this looks twins D3. Body cameras, control panels, user interfaces are also mostly mechanical and electronic machines from this camera uses the same thing with the previous D3.

However, the core component of the camera D3X is entirely new components. CMOS sensor is 36 x 23.9 mm giving a resolution of 24.5 megapixels. Even a big leap in terms of resolution compared to the D3, D3X users instead be content to accept a smaller range of sensitivity (ISO 100 to 1600, extendable ISO 50 to 6400) and continuous shooting slower, which is five frames per second (7 fps in DX mode).
