After perhaps the longest period of wait and anticipation ever Nikon has lifted the covers on their first full-frame digital SLR, the new 12.1 megapixel Nikon D3. The Nokin D3 is the epitome speed and sensitivity, 12 megapixels on a big CMOS chip means large photosites (8.45 µm pitch to be precise) and that equates to base sensitivity of ISO 200 to 6400 with an additional two stop boost over that (up to ISO 25600). The speed story (apart from blistering AF and shutter lag) is that the Nikon D3 can shoot at nine frames per second with Autofocus tracking or eleven frames per second without. Other features are a newly branded EXPEED image processor, a 51-point Autofocus sensor, color Autofocus tracking, dual CF compartments (with UDMA support), an amazing 3.0' 922,000 pixel LCD screen with Live View (including contrast detect auto-focus), HDMI video output and even a virtual horizon function which can tell you when you're holding the camera perfectly level!!!! What else can we say!!!
