Pros: Machine body PRO

Cons: All if we consider the technological gap to 2022

Opinion: If you buy a D3x in 2022 it is because you are not really interested in all the good of God that can be found on the latest SLR and ML to current technology, you buy a pro, ergonomic camera body that churns out very workable raw files of excellent quality (in raw 14bit uncompressed are 50Mb per file); Regarding the nominal ISO at 1600 are not so poor as I read on the net but for the high ISO I rely on the twin D3S to which I could not reunite regarding the noise tightness (especially chromatic) even today; That said I found it at € 600 with 100 thousand shots, at this price I did not think too much.

Pros: Super photos, a tank, focus almost always accurate, great colors and more than enough resolution

Cons: Lack of flash (whatever they say... sometimes you need), poorly defined LCD screen and colors off (but I lose it since it is now 15/16 years old)

Opinion: Taken alongside my D810 even if I did not really need it because this goes from god, I immediately found myself at ease despite the imposing bulk compared to the not small D810. I've had it for a month and it looks new, it has very few shots, less than 10 thousand and it is complete with everything. As a photographer I do not notice great differences between the two cameras as a final result, one is worth the other. The difference lies in the date, modern the D810, obsolete the D3x (screen, memory cards, few iso, maybe the lowest resolution, batteries, keys set differently etc. etc.) but perhaps this is its beauty.

Pros: Great files. Balanced in weight shapes and distribution.

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: Taken to replace the D750 with which I never had a feeling. With the D3x it was love at first sight. Mine has 30,000 shots. Perfect in everything but has a dot in the sensor that you can not remove. Patience. I told myself... and if I had the dirty sensor... what would I do? Lighroom was the tisposta. And I keep taking pictures. I would never, ever sell it. . Beautiful reflex that I use with 28-70 f/2.8 (nice pesantuccio...) sixe D and the brother is 70-200 D f/2.8..satisfied

Pros: It's a flagship, security, great files... high ISO suppers as I judge them

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: It is the last of the D3 series that was missing and now I am affixed for many years and will join the D3 and D3s for work. Taken at no cost because I did change with my D800 that I was not there and used with the flagships looked like a toy, I regret dynamic range and crop and against the heavy files. I shot at 3200 and 6400 ISO and the difference with the D800 is not much perhaps a bit sharper. Even though she is 12 years old it is still a super flagship for me and since I will have to work there I am very happy because it give me an indescribable feeling of security.

Pros: Reliable, do what you want.

Cons: Comparing it to modern reflexes or ml, it would have dozens, but it would be a nonsensical comparison.

Opinion: Good morning, I've owned this car for a year. I find it perfect for me, yes the weight is relevant but comparable to a D850 with bg. So, the D3x is a machine that I find fun to use, it's my first ever flagship, and I have no previous comparisons to do either as a body or as an mpx, my previous ones were at most 16 mpx in apsc or 12 mpx format in ff format, so what this machine gives me back, for me is fantastic. It has all the controls ready, it's quick to do what you set it to do, yes yes the burst at maximum raw resolution is a sloth, but in the studio with flashes is sufficiete. There are so many admirers of this camera and I understand them. Compared to modern machine bodies, it lacks many things, be it physical, the joistick for focus points, the non-tilting monitor, stabilizer on the sensor, as for software, does not chase the eyes, does not have Focus Stacking, does not get to 102,000 iso and many other things. But for what she owns is a machine lady, the end result, which is what we should all aim for, to me satisfies 100%. I mainly do studio photos, easel use or monopod because holding it for several hours I fatigue and then tremble, which does not happen to me with the Fuji X T1, but it is another speech. I use it with the 50mm 1.8 G, the 85mm 1.8 G and the 24-120 4 G, the latter almost never in the studio. I love the b/n and if imodifyed with this age-changemachine comes out something remarkable like this (https://www.juzaphoto.com/galleria.php?l=it&t=3199113). I am very satisfied but it is not said that I will not switch to a lighter body that can give me the same type of file, but if it must be an ml, that it is really light, otherwise I keep the D3x
