Guys you should set your mind as ease as finally Nikon officially announcing the availability of Nikon’s D3X just in time for photographers to make themselves a high-end. Although it’s been built on the platform of the D3, the D3X offers some pretty serious improvements compared to its predecessor, probably the most important being related to the sensor. Hence, the D3X features a Nikon FX-format CMOS imaging sensor (35.9 x 24.0 mm) with an imaging area equivalent to 35mm film, which is capable of delivering 24.5 effective megapixels and photo resolutions of up to an impressive 6,048 x 4,032 pixels.
Basically, the images are processed at a very high speed due to Nikon’s new EXPEED digital image processing system, which provides precise color reproduction for a broad spectrum of hues, plus vivid saturation and smooth gradation, as well as noise processing and reduction without interfering with other factors, including hue. This uses the same Multi-CAM 3500FX autofocus sensor module, originally incorporated in the D3 and provides two different LiveView models, namely Handheld (TTL phase-difference AF using all 51 AF points is activated) and Tripod (focal-plane contrast AF on a desired point within a specific area). It also sports the Active D-Lighting system, which determines an exposure by utilizing a gradation of highlights, detects lost shadows, and then reproduces them after digital processing. In this way, the DSLR actually prevents images from looking flat through localized tone control technology, and creates realistic contrast while compensating lost shadows and highlights.
