Nikon D3x leaked.
Nikon has leaked their own announcements themselves by mistake. How did this happened? Well, it appears that they released their magazine named “Nikon Pro Magazine” in Europe to early, before they could launch the “official announcement”.
The new Nikon D3x is a full-frame DSLR camera with a 24.5 megapixel 16-bit EXPEED image processor. Here are some more specifications:
- 24.5 megapixel the highest resolution seen in a Nikon DSLR to date
- 16 bit EXPEED image processor (35.9 x 24mm)
- 51 point autofocus system
- 5fps continuous shooting (or 7fps at 10 megapixel)
- ISO range 50-6200
- Extra High Active D-Lighting
- Live preview shooting mode
- 3 inch LCD screen with 922000 dots
- Extremely durable magnesium construction with economically optimized and weather-sealed
- Dual CF slots
According to cameraworld.co.uk the price of the D3X camera is expected to be around £5500 (they even take pre-order deposits of £20). And it is said that will be released in December.
I wonder if it’s worth buying it. Beside the high megapixel number there is not much improvement compared to D3. I guess that this D3X it will be a relief for fashion/portrait/product/etc. photographer , but a disappointment for wedding and sports photographers photographers where they need speed and god image quality at very high ISO. But we will wait and see how it will present itself.

Vai doamne !!! 24.5 megapixel …nu imi vine sa cred !!! Ce mai e deosebit la el …e si pretu….
Tot ce mai trebuie sa vedem acum e si calitatea imagini. Dar intradevar e destul de deosebit.
Finally Nikon steped up in the high MP world. But still, i want to see sample image to see that if it can be compared to a Canon.
I wish Canon had D-Lighting settings.
Yeah me too. D-Lighting seams like a pretty powerful option.
