If we talk about Camera, there are so many brand and type that we can choose. But there is the special one that makes you realy want this thing. let us discuss about one of the famous brands in the camera, this is a Nikon which has long been involved in the photo world for a long time. Starting with the simultaneous announcement of the Nikon D1H and D1X in 2001 the number of double-digit professional Nikon D ‘has been divided into two parts – the X series are designed for high-resolution applications, such as a modem or a photograph of landscape and a series of H for high speed sports photography of the type (low resolution but faster continuous shooting).

Nikon D3, which was launched in August 2007 no longer holds the series ‘H’ in its name but clearly designed for the use of which require speed. So, the question that arises is when the Nikon D3 will launch a pair designed for high resolution. After awaited with high passionate expectation, finally Nikon D3X been present at the end of 2008.

Nikon D3X has a full frame (they like to call “FX format”) 24.5-megapixel CMOS sensor, which due to its high resolution, dynamic range, color depth, sharpness, and is designed to compete with commercial fashion, fine art and landscape shooters. And while it is – compared to the D3 – a big jump in resolution, D3X users must accept a smaller range of sensitivity (ISO 100 to 1600, expandable to 50 up to ISO 6400) and slow continuous shooting five frames per second (DX 7 frames per second) response.

Image file that can be taken as a JPEG, TIFF or NEF in Nikon’s own (raw) format either 12 – or 14-bit compression format or not compressed and recorded to a UDMA-compatible memory card for optimum speed. we can shoot tethered to a laptop via a USB connection or using the optional ($ 649.95) WT-4a transmitter to send images wirelessly. We can also save images directly to a CompactFlash card inserted into one or two double card slot D3X as overflow, backup, or as a different file format in the card, such as the Nikon D3.

Autofocus is available in one of two Live View modes, including a phase-detection Handheld mode and a Tripod mode. We can even zoom in up to 27x on the LCD screen to ensure critical focus. The D3X maintain a rough D3-shell with moisture, dust, and shock-resistance together with a self-diagnostic shutter system tested to exceed 300,000 cycles. Camera body has the same magnesium alloy construction and the form factor of D3 and is compatible with Nikon’s Creative Lighting System (CLS) and optional ($ 209.95) GP-1 GPS receiver to capture the latitude, longitude, and altitude.
