In anticipation of our upcoming in-depth review, Professional Photographer provides you with notes from our Nikon D3 reviewer Ellis Vener on its most notable features and functions that made a big impression.
IMPRESSIVE
This is Nikon�s first full frame (24x36mm format) D-SLR�no crop factor. Nikon calls this format FX. While the resolution is only 12.1 megapixels, roughly equal to the resolution of the Nikon D300, the larger physical area allows Nikon to employ a second layer of micro lenses to really focus the light down into the pixel wells resulting in:
� More clear resolution of fine detail than I�ve seen out of other 12 megapixel format cameras.
� Large dynamic range when using the 14-bit per channel NEF format, especially in the highlights, about one and a half stops over the D2X. (This is also a result of the EXPEED processor technology implemented in the D3.)
� Very low noise at high ISO settings, about two to four times the quality of the D2Xs.
� Much greater resolution of shadow detail than many other similar cameras.
