Nikon D3
The Nikon D2X is the predecessor or the current Nikon D7000, D3 and D4. The D2X was introduced in 2004, and was a 12.4 megapixel Digital Single Lens Reflex camera.
No, the Nikon D3 does not have video recording capabilities. It is primarily a still photography camera, designed for professional use with its advanced features and performance in capturing images. For video recording, Nikon's D90 and later models, such as the D5 or Z series, offer video functionality.
The Nikon D3 has 12.1 megapixels. The Exilim line (which is by Casio, not Sony) has cameras with a range from 6 to 12.1 megapixels. Keep in mind, it's not all about megapixels, though - it's also about lens quality and the number of user-customizable controls (ISO, shutter speed, aperture, etc.). The Nikon D3 is an SLR, whereas the Exilim line consists of point-and-shoot and prosumer models. The D3 is definitely the better camera.
Yes. Nikon cameras have the distinct advantage over other cameras because they are backwards compatible with any Nikon lens. In short, any Nikon camera can mount any Nikon lens. The problem is how much of the lens capabilities are retained when used on a different camera. Depending on the lens' mounting system and the Nikon camera, the lens may or may not be able to autofocus or meter. Also, if you use an FX lens (from a film or D3/D700 camera) on a DX (digital DSLR) camera, the focal lengths will be different than on the film camera. More specifically, it will be 1.5 times the focal length of the film camera. (more zoomed in)
No. Professionals use DSLRs. Even at that, many DSLRs are still just consumer level cameras. D200/D300/D700/D3 are professional Nikons.
Mitchell Davis uses a Canon 1Ds (mkII or mkIII, not sure) for all of his serious photography. He also has a variety of very expensive lenses. Actually the REAL Mitchell Davis uses a Nikon D3 camera!
The best place to buy a sought after camera like the Nikon D3 would be at a smaller Nikon dealer who has had the professional Nikon dealership for many years. They tend to get treated very well by Nikon Inc....and because they are a smaller dealer, they tend not to have the mile long waiting list that the larger dealers have. I can guarantee you that when the very large dealers like B&H photo show the D3 "On Backorder" there are other small dealers throughout the country who have a D3 on the shelf; waiting to be put to work. While some of these dealers will attempt to gouge the price...there are many reputable smaller dealers that will gladly match B&H's price in the effort to gain your business; hopefully for years to come. Checking the web today; I see one such dealer in Santa Barbara. Russ' Camera and Video. Their website says that they have been a Nikon dealer since 1975...and they have a D3 in stock right now. The other advantage of the smaller dealer is that you can often deal directly with the owner; not a commissioned sales-person who will try to sell you un-needed accessories. I own a D3 and enjoy it immensely. I would encourage you to acquire one and put it to work today! ANSWER 2: you can buy it on AMAZON or Ebay, also there are many sites where you can get it, just search some of them at google
The D100 is the older camera (It is from 2001); Nikon's numbering scheme is slightly confusing: Single digit (F1, F2 D2, D3) are professional cameras Three digit (F100, D100, D200, D300) are semi-professional cameras Two digit (D40, D60, D90) are keen amateur cameras Four Digit (D3000, D5000, D7000) are keen amateur cameras too
Sounds like underexposure. Set the camera on automatic and take a photo in good light. If it looks OK, then that's your problem. You may be pushing the flash too far, or the other camera settings may be off.
Yes the Nikon d90 can record video. One can record and edit the video on the camera, whereas many cameras require video editing program. The d90 records digital video and the result won't produce professional looking video but eliminates the need for a video editor. The Nikon D90 also shoots in 720p at around 24fps and unlike the D3100 and some other SLRs it will not auto focus whilst shooting in video.
