The Nikon D3 is a digital single-lens reflex (DSLR) camera introduced on August 23, 2007, following the D2 series as Nikon's top-of-the-line professional grade camera. Unlike its two predecessors, at least initially, the D3 does not have separate H and X variations, such as the D1H/D1X and D2H/D2X, which are optimized for action photography (H) and high-resolution applications (X), respectively. However, based on its specifications such as 9 frames per second (fps), a new state-of-the-art Multi-CAM 3500 AF module, and a relatively modest 12MP resolution, it is clear that the D3 is optimized for sports, news, and wildlife photography. Additionally, since the D3 has excellent high-ISO performance for indoor existing-light conditions, it should also be a great wedding camera.
Another important distinction for the D3 is that it is Nikon's first DSLR that uses a 23.9x36mm sensor, which Nikon now refers to as the FX format. For all practical purposes, it is the same size as the traditional 35mm film frame (24x36mm). Therefore, Nikon F-mount lenses will produce the same angle of view on the D3 as they do on 35mm film SLRs, and there is no more digital "crop factor."
As the same time Nikon announced the D3, they also announced the Nikon D300(review),which remains at the DX format (16x24mm) as all previous Nikon DSLRs. The two cameras share some components such as the AF module.
