Product Description
The 12.1 effective megapixel D3 features Nikon's new FX-format (Full Frame) CMOS sensor, measuring 23.9 x 36mm — virtually identical to the size of 35mm film. This makes possible higher ISO sensitivity, wider dynamic tonal range and offers the same relationship between picture angle and depth-of-field that were the hallmarks of the 35mm film format. With the fastest startup time, shortest viewfinder blackout time, and shortest shutter lag of any digital SLR camera as well as the capability to shoot up to nine frames-per-second at full FX-format resolution, the D3 is the world's fastest digital SLR camera in its class. Nikon's self-diagnostic shutter system, tested to 300,000 cycles, is evidence of its advanced engineering and durable construction. Picture Control settings give photographers dramatically advanced color control with 4 preset options — Standard, Neutral, Vivid and Monochrome, as well as 9 customizable settings. Standout features include: 3" VGA LCD Screen; 51-Point Auto Focus; dual CompactFlash storage; USB, HDMI, and Video Output; auto and manual exposure modes with 3D matrix metering; plus two LiveView shooting modes. Its electronically controlled vertical-travel focal-plane shutter has speeds from 1/8,000 to 30s in steps of 1/3, 1/2, 1 EV, and Bulb. The Nikon D3 is graced with an impressive list of compatible lenses: 1) Type G or D AF Nikkor Lenses (excluding IX-Nikkor) — all functions supported; 2) DX AF Nikkor Lenses — all functions supported except FX-format; 3) AF Nikkor other than type G or D Lenses (excluding F3AF lenses) — all functions supported except 3D Color Matrix Metering; 4) AI-P Nikkor Lenses — all functions supported except AF and 3D Color Matrix Metering; 5) Non-CPU AI Nikkor Lenses — can be used in exposure modes A and M. ♦ This item includes a Mack 3-Year Diamond Warranty.
