The D3X comes with an advanced 24.5 megapixel resolution, gapless micro lens array and on-chip noise reduction, providing unbelievable quality. The CMOS sensor operates with a 12 channel readout. It can be used from ISO 100 to ISO 1600, which can be enlarged to a further ISO 50 and ISO 6400 in boost mode. It reaches 5 frames per second in highest resolution and 7 frames per second in continuous and DX mode.
Nikon Hungary Kft. handed over the DX3 for testing for a whole weekend in the middle of April. I could hardly wait for the moment to hold it in my hands and feel the well-known Nikon feeling in my fingertips. The camera didn’t leave me disappointed, the robust body and distinct weight that we have grown accustomed to only added to my delight, winning over my heart at first sight.

Appearance
The high quality materials used in the camera’s construction, the carefully positioned and user friendly settings and function buttons, the professionally designed body together with the enormous LCD screen made a really good impact on me even before switching it on. What impressed me even more was the large optical viewfinder, which makes life comfortable for someone wearing glasses, as you can see all the data without your glasses touching the LCD. Since I’m one of those unfortunate people who need glasses to work, please allow me to make special reference to this feature! Perhaps this is one of the reasons I chose Nikon when purchasing a DSLR camera.
