Nikon D3x Digital SLR

 

Nikon's top professional DSLR is the leader of the pack

It pretty much goes without saying that the Nikon D3x is an incredibly good camera, with the kind of performance, rugged reliability, versatility and most importantly image quality demanded by the top professionals. It is big, heavy and quite...

Nikon D3x review

 

This high end DSLR is absolutely fantastic - but is it really worth the £5500 asking price?

Highest resolution available ; Ultra tough body ; Unmatched customisation options

No sensor-cleaning ; Live View not as good as D90 ; Expensive

Nikon D3x DSLR camera

 

The Nikon D3, this camera's predecessor, was a camera optimising excellence in almost all areas. Enter the D3x, a camera that builds further on the superlatives already meted out to its predecessor. And so in summary, the D3x is, in essence, a grand...

Build and handling, superb image quality, ergonomics, screen size, AF performance, White Balance control, EXPEED image processing and noise control

No Anti dust system

And so in summary, the D3x is, in essence, a grand tourer to the D3’s sports coupe; able to produce stunning results, with bucket loads of detail and with brilliant ergonomics. It’s a lot of camera, but one that comes at a steep price that may make...

Nikon D3x

 

Designed on the D3, the Nikon D3x with a 24.4 MP 24x36mm sensor is dedicated to true skilled pro photographers. Beautifully built, with a super 100% viewfinder and a reassuring grip, the D3x combines very high resolution and sensitivity. A first great...

Nikon D3x Review

 

Nikon's latest full-frame flagship DSLR offers a staggering 24.5-megapixel-resolution. Pro photographer Ross Hoddinott puts it through its paces

Whilst the increase in resolution might be a major jump, aside from this, so little has changed that you could obtain all the information you need to know about the D3x by simply reading a detailed review of the D3. It shares the same high-resolution...

Nikon D3x review

 

With the D3x Nikon has finally joined Canon in the exclusive 20 Megapixel Club, and it was worth the wait. The D3x is a stunning camera that pushes the boundaries of DSLR performance to a new level. It isn't perfect, though, in particular, the omission...

Nikon D3x

 

The Nikon D3x updates the 12-megapixel D3 providing double the resolution on a full frame “FX” format sensor. But is it as good as the D3? Doug Harman finds out in this the D3x full Best4Reviews test.

Build and handling, Superb image quality, Ergonomics, Screen size, AF performance, White Balance control, EXPEED image processing and noise control

No Anti dust system

The D3x would easily have got a top Best4Reviews rating of six stars – had it not been so pricey. But even so, this is a camera that should be a serious contender for anyone thinking of splashing money on a digital back, which would set you back far...

Nikon D3X review

 

Some said it was never going to happen but, flush with the success of the 12-megapixel full-frame D3 digital SLR, Nikon has released the 24-megapixel full-frame D3x. The new model competes head-on with arch-rival Canon's top-of-the-range EOS 1Ds Mk II...

Class-leading resolution and picture quality; professional-level build with superb layout and ergonomics

Long-winded menus; fiddly implementation of Live View compared to some rivals; no auto-sensor cleaning
