Usain Bolt of DSLR Cameras Sports Blazing Speed
Nikon's quest for speed spawned the Usain Bolt of DSLRs, keen on showboatin' a full-frame, 12.1-megapixel image sensor that fires up to nine frames per second. Truth is, this pro-level camera's blazing speed is just a start. The 51-point focusing system and autofocus tracking put the D3 right on your subject, with flawless exposures that make big, beautiful prints. The user interface is classic-Nikon easy, with an LCD so sharp it's like watching HDTV.
WIRED High-ISO shooting is fantastic, with low noise, even at ISO 3200. In-camera RAW conversion. Live-view function is the best of the top-end DSLRs. Dual CF card capability.
TIRED So many functions it could take a lifetime to nail them all. No dust-busting sensor-cleaning system
