Nikon hits market with 24.5 Megapixel
Nikon hits the mark with the release of their new baby – the Nikon D3X.
The big boy DSLR sports a bone-crushing 24.5-megapixel lens. The D3X
uses a CMOS sensor and a shooting speed of up to 5 frames per second.
The D3X records in TIFF, JPEG or NEF (Nikon raw format) 12 or 14-bit
compressed or uncompressed formats, and supports UDMA-compatible
Compact Flash cards — the fastest cards available.
The D3X’s sensitivity range runs from ISO 100 to ISO 1600, with a Lo 1
of ISO 50 and Hi 1 and 2 of ISO 3200 and ISO 6400. The camera will also
offer a 5:4 (8×10) crop mode at 20.4 megapixels, along with the same
10.5-megapixel DX crop mode as the D3, and support.
As for those who are confused if Nikon D3X uses a similar sensor as Sony
Alpha DSLR-A900, the answer might be a NO. Nikon clarifies that what
they are using is “a Nikon designed sensor” that may or may not be
manufactured by Sony. But this kind of statement pretty much translates
to ‘pretty similar’ so I think you get the picture.
The camera features an outer shell that’s moisture, shock and
dust-resistant; a self-diagnostic shutter system designed to exceed
300,000 cycles; a viewfinder with 0.7x magnification, 3.0-inch LCD
display with 170 degree viewable angle, HDMI video output and 4400
shots-per-charge lithium ion battery.
