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 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 great. 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, both physical, the joistick for focus points, the monitor not tilting, 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 AF, 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

Pros: File prepared in jpeg without pp, rugged camera body, great af, ISO 1600 seal.

Cons: He suffers the tungsten lights, not great rear display.

Opinion: Excellent machine despite being in 2008, produces fantastic files especially in the range 100 -400 iso that are in my opinion superior to the d800-D800E which also possess so I could compare them and at least in this range seem migliori.Il body then gives a feeling of solidity 'exceptional .Sotto the tungsten lights better to use the manual white balance as it suffers a bit' like all, needless to say, and 'heavy because it is a highly pro body. In short, overall a great machine.

Pros: Pro body and produces fantastic pictures

Cons: To be able to exploit it has a 100% Life is not 'enough

Opinion: In the end I managed to sell my whole kit format right body d2x macro 40 dx f.2.0 ZOMM 18,300 all strictly Nikon and I made the quantum leap 'I made her Majesty the Queen' Nikon D3X, boys nacchina. ..potrei use it to break the nuts as much e'robusta and powerful ... and then the picture that turns out to 24 .5 MPs are fantastic and the format FF and 'another planet. Soddisfatissimo are my choice .Now I'm reading the manual but once I know 'not enough' to start to exploit it properly ...

Pros: Exceptional image quality. Impeccable construction, viewfinder and autofocus excellent and reliable, low noise for use in ISO 1600 and beyond. rn

Cons: High price although well built.

Opinion: Reflex very valuable despite the years of hard time competing with the most modern; better use for portraiture, studio work, landscape photography and everything you want to do, even for sports photo where you do not require a burst over 5 frames per second. The sharpness of the images is impressive as well with color and contrast optical adequate. Ease in obtaining good images than the D800. From 100 to 1600 ISO clarity of files it is unmatched !! Hotel is certainly one of the best FF SLR ever produced. SLR photographers for real, is to have in your kit. Highly recommended.

Pros: Files exceptional quality construction by reference, viewfinder and autofocus clean, excellent noise management in Jpeg, easily usable iso 1600 and beyond if necessary. The weight does not see it as a disadvantage, since that gives great stability especially when using long telephoto lenses.

Cons: High price even if the substance is really great.

Opinion: Despite his age, stands very well compared with the more modern competitors; finds its best use in studio and landscape photography without disdaining use in all of the circumstances in which you do not require a prolonged burst. The sharpness is extraordinary as well as color and contrast in optical coupled to appropriate. Greater ease in obtaining good images compared to the more modern d800 that require greater caution. 100 iso is practically perfect !! Definitely one of the best FF SLR ever produced. I consider myself very lucky to have found a copy in perfect condition at a price accettabile.rn
