Nikon D3 12.1 Megapixel

Key Features :

• 12.1 Megapixel Effective Resolution
The Nikon-original 12.87 Megapixel FX-format (23.9 x 36mm) CMOS sensor provides a high signal-to-noise ratio, wide dynamic range and 12-channel readout to delivers breathtakingly rich image quality with an effective resolution of 12.1 million pixels, while also reducing noise to unprecedented levels, even at high ISO sensitivity. There are also Two Crop Modes - the DX format and a 5:4 ratio crop. When the FX-format is used there is no significant crop factor so a wide angle lens is still a wide angle lens. Furthermore, the EXPEED Image Processing Engine provides up to 14-bit A/D conversion and 16-bit image processing for superb tonal gradation.

• Impressive Speed
Shoot up to 9 fps consecutive shooting at full FX resolution and up to an incredible 11 fps in DX Crop mode. Plus the camera has a start-up time of approximately 0.12 seconds, and a shutter release lag of only 37 milliseconds with a viewfinder blackout time that is a mere 55 milliseconds.

• High Sensitivity with Low Noise
The cameras has an extremely broad range of sensitivity extending from ISO 200 to ISO 6400 natively, and that sensitivity range can be expanded down to ISO 100 or up to ISO 25600 using the Lo-1 and Hi-2 settings.

• Fast and Accurate 51-point Auto Focus
The D3 incorporates Nikon's Multi-CAM 3500FX auto focus module that features an intelligent array of 15 cross-type sensors and 36 horizontal sensors that can either be used individually or in groups, with the option for Single Area AF mode and Dynamic AF modes using groups of either 9, 21 or all 51 focus points. The system also features 3D Focus Tracking with automatic focus point switching that takes advantage of all 51 AF points as it uses color and light information to accurately track the subject.
