The D3X's control layout is virtually

identical to my trusted Nikon D3,

which means that I know exactly

where everything is and how it

works so I can get on with the job.

However, the huge increase in

resolution and detail is

immediately apparent

when reviewing the

image on the rear LCD. It

was later, on a computer

monitor, that I discovered

image information that I

simply couldn't see with

my own eyes at the time.

Looking at my files, I

suddenly realized that I've

got the image quality of a

medium-format camera in

the familiar and ergonomic form of

a 35mm D-SLR. I can use my huge

range of NIKKOR lenses – including

many zooms and VR optics – at

focal lengths not available with

medium-format systems. I can also

use all my Nikon Speedlights and

other accessories.

When Nikon asked me to take a

D3X camera on my safari in Kenya,

I was at first skeptical. But my

reservations disappeared soon after

I handled this camera. The D3X

maintains the incredible ergonomic

design , ea s e of me n u

cho i c e s an d f a n t a s t ic

high-resolution rear LCD

as the D3, but the most

important addition is its

24.5-megapixel FX-format

sensor. This translates

into de tail, de tail and

more detail. An incredible

amount of information

lies in each full-frame image, but

24.5 megapixels also mean that

photographs can be cropped into

panoramic formats and still retain

amazing detail.

On this trip, I carried an assortment

of lenses, but relied heavily on

my two favorite safari lenses: the

Working fast, as time was tight,

I completed the static shots and

sw i tc h ed to 1 2 - bi t m o d e fo r

the action shots. I had to keep

reminding myself that this was a

24.5-megapixel camera and that I

was able to shoot 5 frames

per second, which was

essential to catch that

“magic moment” in the

Turin traffic. Later, I was

shootin g acti on shots

at night, wide open at

f/2.0 with the AF-S VR

Nikkor 200mm f/2G IF-ED

at ISO 800 and ISO 1600.

Despite the challenging

con d i t io ns , the sh ot s

were full of crisp detail,

accurate color and incredible tonal

gradation.

The D3X is a camera I could walk

around with all day, tackling any

subject without worrying about

bad weather or poor light. It makes

a perfect companion to my D3.

AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/4G ED VR

and the AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor

200-400mm f/4G IF-ED. The D3X

wo r k e d ex t r e me l y we l l w i th

each lens despite all the difficult

shooting scenarios that a safari can

present. With the D3X, I

get Nikon's exceptional

handling, fast autofocus

and an increased dynamic

range, as well as 5 frames

per second in FX format

and 7 frames per second

in 10-megapixel DX crop

format. Combine these

features with extreme

resolution and NIKKOR optics and I

know I'll be able to get the pictures

I want. I was greatly impressed

with the D3X. From landscape

to wildlife, the versatility of the

camera is truly amazing.

S t u d i o w o r k i s a g a m e o f

millimeters: the slightest move can

dramatically change an image and

ruin what you have envisioned.

The D3X gives me the mobility of

a 35mm D-SLR, which opens up

completely new opportunities

for photographers in my line of

work. Without being restrained by

a camera stand, commercial and

product photographers can now

handhold the camera to freely seek

an ideal perspective. This can save

hours of setup time, as medium-

format stands and accessories are

cumbersome and require numerous

tedious adjustments.

For me, however, the big ges t

surprise of the D3X was the

image quality. As a studio still life

photographer making my living

with expensive medium-format

digital equipment, I was skeptical

ab o u t w h a t any D -S L R co ul d

deliver. At the beginning, I was

certain that the D3X images would

be vastly inferior to the medium

format. The price difference alone

between these two systems should

be enough to explain the quality

dierence, I thought.

It did not take long to discover

that my presumptions were

completely wrong. The image

quality of the D3X is far better

than I anticipated; it would not be

an exaggeration to say it was fifty

times better than my expectations.

The resolution is impressive,

and the bokeh reproduction is

spectacular, especially when using

the PC-E Micro NIKKOR 85mm

f/2.8D. Another benefit I see is the

D3X's ability to focus sharply with

wide-angle lenses in ways that

are simply impossible with the

medium format. With all of these

benets, I am certain that the D3X

will make a big splash in the studio

photography world.

For studio shooting, the D3X's

resolution is amazing, rivaling

digital medium–format camera

offerings. Tonal gradation is very

smooth and even, and

the color re nde rin g

is perfect for fashion

and beauty. It is always

thrilling for me to see

the range of colors in

my mind realized in the

nal result, and the D3X

did exactly that.

This camera really

impressed me during our

beach shoot. The beautiful

tonal gradation allowed

me to experiment freely

in difficult light without

worrying about losing

detail in the brightest and darkest

areas. As I shot that day, I realized

that with this D3X, the challenges

of harsh contrast, backlighting

and sudden lighting and weather

changes that once made location

sh ooti n g d iffi cult for f ashi o n

photographers are now diminished

signicantly. The fast autofocus and

incredible frame rate also gave me

the chance to catch

the perfect moment in

ways that a medium-

format camera could

not.

On e of th e bi g g e st

advantages, however, is

the incredible versatility

in every kind of weather.

Even when shooting in

the rain, the D3X's brilliant

au tofocus was always

sharp and precise, and

the camera's agility and

rug g e d build m a d e it

much easier to handle

than a medium-format camera. No

matter what the conditions were –

hot sun, strong wind or even hard

rain – the Nikon D3X performed!
