Nikon has announced its new flagship professional DSLR, the D3X. The new full frame sensor (24.5 megapixels) contains double the number of photosites of its predecessor, the D3, but remaining specifications are unchanged for the most part.
The camera produces 50MB 14-bit RAW files that can be converted into 140MB TIFFs. The D3X supports an ISO range from ISO 100-1600, extendable down to ISO 50 and up to 6400 equivalent with up to 5 fps continuous shooting at full resolution, or 7 fps in the 10MP DX-crop mode. The estimated street price is US$ 7,995.95.
I have hoped for a video function, it´s not worth the upgrade from the D3, unless You´re doing a lot of supersized prints. You get the same sensor in the Sony a900 for less than half the price. If Canon wants to cope up they´ll have to deliver 26MP or more plus video on the 1DS MKIV…
