Nikon D3x Review – Take Those Amazing Shots With Nikon D3x
For the lensman who likes to have complete command over every last nook and cranny in his or her camera, the Nikon D3x is absolutely the one to choose. A detailed Nikon D3x review indicates better features over an earlier D3 digital SLR, which was widely praised for its ergonomic design and top-notch portability. Bear in mind however that this camera is on the heavy side, its body registering in at 43 ounces (1.2 kg).
The biggest change is noticeable in the sheer number of megapixels, think a mind boggling 24.5! Sporting 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, as commented on by Trey Ratcliff in his Nikon D3x review, in his well-known travel blog, stuckincustoms.com. Although he acknowledges that this great feature alone increases the sticker value considerably and is not necessary for small photographs, it is absolutely a must for him, since he needs every shot to be the best. He also comments that the resolution on the Nikon D3x makes it ideal for huge screens, even in very close range.
Some other attraction on this camera is its extreme ability to take highest resolution shots at up to 5 fps, and up to 7 frames per second in a lower resolution, the DX format in 10.5 megapixels. This aspect makes it perfect for outdoor activities and travel photographers, when every fraction of a second makes the difference between a great shot and a poor one. Given, it is not the fastest on the market, but this model does offer high ISO, beginning at ISO 100 up to ISO 1600. If that is still not sufficient, there are options to increase or decrease the sensitivity range. There are a lot more you can do to adjust the settings 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 once more making this an outstanding choice for photographers who want to control and predict precisely how each shot will turn out.
Other nice features are the two CF cards slots and the ability of the battery to operate up to 4,400 images per charge. The monitor provides crystal clear viewing with a bright three inch super density 920,000 LCD screen. Does Nikon D3x camera have any drawbacks? Trey Ratcliff, mentioned in his post, complains of the one step at a time programming step progression, whereas he would like to be able to program steps by twos. However, those details aside, he declares that this camera is his favorite and exlusively uses it, since he needs extreme reliability, that taking second chances when in remote locations is not possible. For certain it shows in his pictures the absolute capabilities of this camera.
For many, the price could be considered its biggest drawback. With a starting price of roughly 8 thousand dollars, exclusive of its zooms and accessories, the reviewed Nikon D3x camera is unquestionably for professionals or those who only want the best. And sometimes only the best is good enough.
