Description
This camera doesn’t have fancy video recording among its features, but not all photographers need it. Based on the D3, the camera has a 24.5-megapixel FX-format sensor, which allows you to get the highest quality images with a resolution of 6048×4032 pixels. Sensitivity range limited to 100-1600 ISO. No sensor dust cleaning system, viewfinder covers 100% of the image field. The EXPEED image processor is the same as the one in the D3. This device attracts by a high level of resolution, and some decrease in speed characteristics, compared to the D3, is quite understandable, since the file size has increased markedly.
Can anyone provide some insight on the features and performance of the Nikon D3x DSLR camera? Is it a suitable option for professional photographers? How does it compare to other models in terms of image quality and versatility?
