The D3X redefines high resolution SLR photography, irrespective of whether you shoot in the studio or perhaps out on location. The 24.5 megapixel FX format CMOS sensor delivers graphic files with outstanding levels of depth and tonal gradation and boasts an ISO range of 100 to 1600. Its durable Kevlar/carbon fiber-composite shutter and EXPEED image processing powerplant enable it to shoot at up to 5 fps (7 fps in DX Crop style). The sophisticated Scene Recognition System delivers exceptional exposures and is supported by Nikon’s generally acclaimed 51-point AF system, which provides extensive coverage and independently selectable points. Selectable Picture Controls streamline in-camera photo processing, conserving time in post-production. The high definition 3-inch Liquid crystal display monitor facilitates two Live View modes plus an HDMI video output. Protected by way of a tough, environmentally-sealed magnesium alloy body.
