Nikon D3: Shoot like the Wind


After the longest time, Nikon has finally unveiled its new flagship DSLR: the D3.

Nikon D3It’s equipped with a 12.1-megapixel FX format CMOS sensor, a 3-inch VGA monitor with a 170-degree viewing angle, a 51-point autofocus system with 15 cross-type AF points, and a 200-6400 ISO range. Plus, with its Hi 2 Mode, it can hit an unheard-of ISO equivalent of 25,600. It’s absolutely crazy!

Oh, did I mention that it has the fastest start up time, shortest viewfinder blackout time, and shortest shutter lag among all DSLRs available? It’s also capable of shooting 9 fps burst in full frame and 11 in smaller. Dual CF card slots are available so that you’re guaranteed to have storage space for all those images you’ve taken. All these excellent features are packaged in a magnificently designed magnesium alloy body which looks sturdy enough to keep its delicate innards safe from occasional drops.
