description

Extreme-resolution photography once meant a sacrifice in mobility, versatility and spontaneity. Now, the Nikon D3X builds upon the world-renowned D3, merging 24.5 megapixels of imaging performance with the speed and handling characteristics that today's photography demands: exquisite detail and tonal range in an ergonomically superior digital SLR body with comprehensive protection against dust, moisture and electromagnetic interference. Work within ISO 100 and ISO 1600 for spectacularly clean and sharp images, even in harsh conditions. The D3X's intuitive layout makes it easier to respond instantly to rapidly changing situations. With Nikon's Total Imaging System on their side, demanding photographers can better realize their vision, using the comprehensive range of renowned NIKKOR lenses and the incomparable Creative Lighting System to adapt to any assignment or shooting situation. That's creative freedom. With the D3X, the world is your studio.

Great camera if it works
Reviewed by Steve. Review Posted 09/08/2009

I'm a wedding and portrait photographer and have been using two Nikon D3's for some time now and they have been totally reliable. I decided to invest in a Nikon D3x, mainly for my portrait work (although I shoot landscape for pleasure with the occasional commission). My first D3x gave an error with all my lenses so that got returned. The second camera seemed to be working fine and gave excellent results but within an hour the 1st CF slot started corrupting every card I tried (Sandisk and Lexar). Based on my experiences I wouldn't recommend the D3x because even if you get a working one how reliable will it be?
