Designed with sports photographers and photojournalists in mind, the
Nikon D3 introduces an astounding list of brand new features and
technologies that make it the most sophisticated and advanced Nikon
digital SLR to date. In addition to the new FX-format CMOS sensor, the
D3 incorporates Nikon's new EXPEED Image Processing System that is
central to the blazing speed and processing power needed for many of
the D3's new features. Images taken with the D3 reflect exceptional
overall quality, broad tonal range and depth, along with extremely
low-noise throughout its normal ISO range of 200 to 6400. By setting
the camera to its built-in options of Lo-1 or Hi-2, the ISO range of
the camera can be expanded to the equivalent of ISO 100 or ISO 25, 600
respectively, offering unmatched versatility in practically any
shooting situation. The D3 also features an entirely new 51-point auto
focus system with Nikon's 3D Focus Tracking feature and two new
LiveView shooting modes that allow photographers to frame a photograph
using the camera's high-resolution LCD monitor. The D3 uses the
world's first Scene Recognition System to greatly enhance the accuracy
of auto focus, auto exposure and auto white balance detection in the
camera by recognizing the subject or scene being photographed and
applying this information to the calculations for the three functions.
The D3 reflects Nikon's most streamlined, functional and aesthetically
pleasing layout in a digital SLR camera, all designed so photographers
can take pictures with less fatigue, greater accuracy and comfort
