The editors didn't like

  • Noticeably slower full-autofocus shutter response in than the D3. (0.161 vs 0.085 second)

  • Its fair to say from our findings that the Nikon D3x is pretty much a re-badged D3 with twice the pixel count but a slower continuous shooting speed; therefore the D3 remains alongside it as a valued component of the range in its own right. Its wort...

  • Is this excellent camera worth $8,000? We say yes. Why? First, its super-high resolution, which will let you print really big photos. Second, its super-tough build, complete with dust- and weathersealing, as well as an integrated vertical grip, import...

  • Abstract:  Attention Kmart shoppers: all of those pundits who claimed that the megapixel madness was over were wrong. It’s not, and unless I’m woefully mistaken (always a possibility) I don’t think the D-SLR megapixel race is going to end anytime soon, or at lea...

  • Build and handling, Superb image quality, Ergonomics, Screen size, AF performance, White Balance control, EXPEED image processing and noise control.
  • No Anti dust system.
  • The D3x would easily have got a top Best4Reviews rating of six stars – had it not been so pricey. But even so, this is a camera that should be a serious contender for anyone thinking of splashing money on a digital back, which would set you back far ...

  • The best all-around image quality yet in a studio-oriented digital SLR; fast overall speed from start-up to image capture; rugged, well-balanced camera build; reliable and speedy autofocus system even in low light; accurate exposure system.
  • Very expensive; noise levels at ISO 3200 not quite as good as Canon 1Ds Mark III; no HD movie mode; shooting buffer is faster than the competition but takes at least 30 seconds to full clear; speeds drop to one frame per second in 14-bit RAW mode.
  • The Nikon D3X is an expensive camera; theres no two ways around it. And in an era of fiscal belt-tightening, its hard to justify spending $8,000 on a single DSLR when you could get two seemingly comparable cameras with similar resolution for less. A...

  • When we reviewed the Nikon D3 in April last year we said that it was possibly the most compelling, capable and well-rounded professional digital SLR ever made and that an (at the time non-existent) D3X would have quite a job to do to better the D3...

  • Incredible resolution, image quality up to ISO 1600, handling and performance
  • No dust control, no builtin flash, auto WB not foolproof, that price tag!
  • With the D3x Nikon has finally joined Canon in the exclusive 20 Megapixel Club, and it was worth the wait. The D3x is a stunning camera that pushes the boundaries of DSLR performance to a new level. It isnt perfect, though, in particular, the omissio...

  • Abstract:  Nikon D3x The Worlds Best DSLR,But... I am convinced that by just about any measure (except price) this is the most outstanding 35mm format DSLR yet. Build quality, image quality – you name it. No, its not the fastest shooting, and no it doesnt hav...
