Nikon D3x Review at DPR: Stunning Output (It kicks a**)

It took four or five months to review the Canon EOS 5D Mark II, but the folks at DPReview have just posted their review of the Nikon D3x in seemingly record time. Given the size of the prospective markets for the two cameras one might be inclined to think there’s a bit of bias over there at DPR, but hey I’m not complaining. I’ll take the reviews as fast as they come.

On to the camera, how did the Nikon flagship fare?

The image output at base ISO (and with high quality glass in front of the sensor) can only be described as stunning. The D3X’s high resolution sensor, combined with a relatively weak AA filter and a superb JPEG engine delivers a level of sharp detail that beats even the strongest competitors including the previous number one in this area, the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III. It’s simply amazing how you can keep zooming into the huge image files and discover more and more detail.

In short, the best IQ you’ll find in a camera that otherwise performs like the already excellent Nikon D3, but it’ll cost you a small fortune.
