    Nikon D3X - I Just Puked A Rainbow

    Tears Of Blood...Tears Of Blood My Friend...

    Not to be outdone by Canon's 5D Mark II, Nikon introduced the D3X last week. A professional level monster of a camera. Holding 24.5 megapixels under the hood. I am pretty sure this small fortune will be on a lot of photographer's Christmas lists [but let's see who actually gets one]. The small fortune in question? $7,999.99...yeah...you are probably wondering if you should get another car or this camera aren't you?

    Specs and photos after the jump.

    Take It All In

    Although it is still mum on Nikon's part if this behemoth will capture video [which is something not necessary for this photographer], like its 5D adversary, what will interest professional shooters are the specs.

    The camera shoots photos in TIFF, JPEG, or RAW formats with 12-bit or 14-bit compressed and uncompressed formats. Images are stored to CF cards and the D3X sports dual CF slots that can be written to at 35MB per s

    econd.

    The ISO range is ISO 100 to 1600 and is expandable to ISO 50 and ISO 6400. Nikon promises that images at ISO 1600 have no grain. Startup time is a mere 0.12 second and the shutter release time lag is 0.04 seconds.

    ....

    The autofocus system uses 51 points and has 15 cross type sensors along with 36 horizontal sensors to track and lock on to moving subjects. A 3-inch rear LCD offers 920,000-dot resolution and supports LiveView. The battery promises enough power for 4400 shots on a single charge.

     Not sold huh? Well I can't afford it either, but i can still drool over the images this contraption produces.

    It annoys me, as a Canon guy, that Nikon managed to get their shit together, and make their full frame cameras compatible with their crop lenses, whereas if I ever decide to get a full frame Canon, all my EF-S lenses become useless.
