Nikon D3x Body (Used)

The World is Your Studio
Extreme-resolution photography once meant a sacrifice in mobility, versatility and spontaneity. Now, the Nikon D3X builds upon the world-renowned D3, merging 24.5 megapixels of imaging performance with the speed and handling characteristics that today's photography demands: exquisite detail and tonal range in an ergonomically superior digital SLR body with comprehensive protection against dust, moisture and electromagnetic interference. Work within ISO 100 and ISO 1600 for spectacularly clean and sharp images, even in harsh conditions. The D3X's intuitive layout makes it easier to respond instantly to rapidly changing situations. With Nikon's Total Imaging System on their side, demanding photographers can better realize their vision, using the comprehensive range of renowned NIKKOR lenses and the incomparable Creative Lighting System to adapt to any assignment or shooting situation. That's creative freedom. With the D3X, the world is your studio.

Exquisite Details
The sensor's 24.5 megapixels are only the beginning. No matter how you shoot – tightly controlled or on the fly – the camera's phenomenally wide dynamic range retains subtlety of shadow and highlight detail that contributes to breathtaking image fidelity, which can make the difference between good pictures and exceptional ones.

• Fast 14-bit A/D conversion incorporated onto the image sensor for high signal-to-noise ratio and low power consumption
• 24.5 megapixels, each pixel specially designed to carry larger electrical charges for outstanding light transmission properties, delivering a wider dynamic range
• Exclusive low-pass filter with multi-layer coating for pristine resolution and minimized moiré

Images with the X-Factor
Images with the X-factor are what your clients expect and your reputation deserves. Nikon's EXPEED processing system is much more than a mere label or processing chip component. The EXPEED at work in the D3X is designed specifically to meet the requirements of a 24.5-megapixel sensor. The results will exceed the expectations of any photographer whose work requires extreme resolution, rich tonal gradation, outstanding color accuracy and remarkable detail. Commercial and fine art photographers will immediately see that the D3X cuts no corners.

• Nikon's EXPEED image processing system, utilizing a supremely powerful CPU with 16-bit image processing
• Faithful, pleasingly saturated color throughout the palette, with smooth tonal gradations, even in highlights
• Fast and efficient processing speed

Rapid Response
Not every subject poses for the camera. Whether it's on the catwalk, in the studio or roaming in the wild,
photographers must capture their subject beautifully and accurately. With its 51 individually selectable AF points,
the D3X autofocus system is the same as the acclaimed Nikon D3, which has become the preferred choice of so
many of the world's leading sports and news photographers by delivering tack-sharp images, even when shooting
moving, low-contrast or poorly lit subjects.

• 51 AF points to track and capture both moving and stationary subjects
• 15 cross-type AF sensors that work with any NIKKOR lens f/5.6 or faster
• Versatile AF-area modes: Single-point AF, Dynamic-area AF, and Auto-area AF

The Art of Ergonomics
The logic is simple: a camera that functions naturally in your hands allows creative work to flow. The D3X features
Nikon's world-renowned ergonomics, placement of controls and intuitive menu systems to help you follow your
instincts instead of interrupting your flow to adjust settings or scroll through menus. Every texture and control has
been meticulously designed to maintain your momentum and remain comfortable in your hands for as long as it
takes to complete the assignment.

Comprehensive Protection
Spectacular images can be found far beyond the controlled confines of the studio. Unlike less robust 36x24mm
D-SLRs or more cumbersome medium-format equipment, the D3X was designed to be at home both on the set
and on location. Its performance-tested body is similar to the world-renowned D3, which has proven that it can
withstand the worst of what the world's leading news photographers can throw at it. Wherever you are, the D3X
delivers studio-quality images in an agile body that can withstand the elements.

• Rugged magnesium alloy construction
• Comprehensive protection against moisture, dust and even electromagnetic interference
• A shutter unit tested inside the camera to exceed 300,000 cycles
• A self-diagnostic shutter monitor for more consistent and assured performance accuracy
