Product Tour
As a camera designed primarily for studio work, the Nikon D3x is obviously very different in size, price and intended audience. It is meant to take on the likes of the Canon 1DS Mark III, and medium-format cameras. However, as part of our review policy, we are limited to comparing cameras with others tested under our current laboratory procedures, which went into effect in January 2009. With this in mind, we’ve decided to run with the prosumer full-frame cameras from Nikon, Canon and Sony and the Nikon D90. This last one might seem an odd choice, given that it costs 1/8 as much as the D3x, but it provides an interesting performance-versus-price contrast.
