  • Simply astonishing pictures , Excellent bracketing and metering functionality , Great dynamic range , Superb build quality , One of the best LCD screens for on-camera reviewing
  • Relatively low ISO range , No automatic sensor cleaning , Some noise at full magnification on higher ISO levels , Price
  • This is undoubtedly Nikon's best digital camera yet, though for most of the functionality you can easily get away with the D700 for a lot less, and still have around 95 per cent of the tools and features. But as usual, it's that extra je ne sais q...

  • Double the megapixel count of the D3, rugged body and good ergonomics
  • No groundbreaking advances in basic shooting functionality, high price tag, ISO range smaller than D3, D3 could capture more frames per second in continuous shooting mode
  • At twice the megapixel count of the earlier D3, the Nikon D3x is suitable for immensely detailed landscape and nature photography. However, there are not enough additional features to justify a price almost twice that of the Nikon D3. ...

  • Abstract:  Maybe it's just a bloke thing, but whenever I'm out testing a new camera I'm always acutely aware that other camera users, or at least the male ones, are sizing up the gear that I'm using to determine our relative positions on the social ladder of camera ...

  • Abstract:  Until quite recently, many photographers and industry professionals had come to regard Nikon as the Microsoft to Canon’s Apple: rarely first with new technology, and always a bit too conservative with new features. In short, Nikon’s top-end cameras jus...
