yup, FULL FRAME makes the difference. You cant compare the two cameras. 5fps is at least enough, especially if your cranken out 25meg images (impressive). Iv gone from the D2x to the canon 5D Mkll and the full frame 20+ megapixel blows the 12 away.
if your after the quality, pay the bucks!!
Full size sensor FX (24×36mm) will be always better than DX sensor.
Better sensitivity, better depth of field, better viewfinder and smaller dusts !
If you can afford it, get the D3x
I’m getting my D3X in the next 2 week’s, but checking on Nikons site makes the D300 look just as good if not better with a faster FPS by 4 frames. I’m no pro, but like everyone I want the best, & high FPS is only for sports photographers right?. But the D3X’s 25mps means i’d need a lap top with a screen like a bill board to view the pics? meaning i’d have to go down the menu & reduce mps
to make pics viewable. What’s the best lens working at 4-20 feet on this camera, can anyone advise me?
Nikkor 14-24mm
hi guys anyone knows what lens is that =D it look like a beast with the d3x …. really interested
its all to do with what lens you buy
it`s big…
only reason someone would need it is if they were a professional photographer, or had enough money that they can buy whatever they want regardless of the price…nikon makes an awesome camera tho!
Double the resolution triple the price and not as good as the d3 performance or 1ds mark 3 performance. The only advantage the d3x has is the resolution but to think of it not that many photographers want a high resolution or higher price like the d3x.
fit camra i love this
I’m not sure why anyone would need such a high pixel count, other than the obvious use for tight cropping.
The D300 can surly suit everyones needs.
I mean hell, even billboard can be printed from about 10mp. Even if they do look crappy close up!
Inform me please?
FYI according to Ken Rockwell, the d700x is on its way.
well not every body is part of that “target market”, it wouldn’t surprise me if Nikon release a D700x (or what ever) in order to compete with Sony & Canon, In regards to the 5d Mark II I have seen sport shots taken with the 5d Mark II on Pbase & flickr, but the 5D Mark II is designed for fashion & landscape. But I stand by my statement that the d3x is extremely expensive.
The only product on the market right now that competes with the D3x is the Canon 1dsIII, and it only sells for 1k less. So much for everyone’s price rant. The D3x isn’t badly priced for the target market. Non standard Sony isn’t a contender (non standard flash shoe? Is Sony crazy? Pure rubbish!. The Canon 5dII is excellent, but slow- I can’t see myself shooting a baseball game with the 5dII and 600mm lens in a light rain can you? .. of course not. Nikon did not miss the mark.
If your not retarded you could check on his profile
I agree with you biged2226
£5000 for a camera?!!! that’s extortion, I don’t care what else it does. You’re better off with the d700, d3, Sony a900 or that godforsaken, “error 99″ infested Canon 5d Mark II. The D300 is beautiful camera by the way, best cropped framed sensor camera on the market, Nikon out did Canon & themselves with the D300 & I can’t think how Nikon will improve on something that is simply awesome. Perhaps a faster fps in burst mode without a grip.
Huge fan of Nikon. Been shooting with Nikon’s since I was 14 years old but I can’t seem to understand why they feel the need to **** consumers with these outrages prices. I own a D300 and look to buy a D3 soon. They should implement some sort of discounts for those of us who have been loyal to nikon. 20 years of nikon product, I have probabbly shelled out over 10,000 bucks. In a nutshell, cut cost of products or consumers will find other brands. D3x=overrated
Although I’m like everyone else, and the thought of owning a D3x makes me salivate, I’m not sure one could justify the purchase of such a rig unless:
1. You’re an art photographer working on a grand scale.
2. You’re in advertising, and wanna make a freaking billboard.
If your into photojournalism or wildlife photography in one form or another, the D700 (and yes, perhaps the D3 *rolls eyes*) should suit you just fine.
Personally, I’m a D300 guy. It’s a great rig for 80% of us out there.
should sell like hot cakes in the credit crunch
i think he didnt understand you
first you’ll need to tell us what your native language is…
well when it gets to larger formats you will need some thing with High MP !!! i agree with you on that
leica mp?(the name of a leica special al a cart rangefinder) lol jk, I to a certain extent agree with you. but when it gets to larger formats, it’s necessary to have larger megapixel quantities.
Since I’m not an Elnglish speaker, I cannot understand the full contents of this preview. Can someonw help me please? Thank you very much.
ppl keep talking about MP`s !!! you dont need more than 10 or 12 unless you gonna print huge pic`s !!! alot of MP dosnt make you a better photographer, its how you take pic`s , i rather spend some money on good glass befor a new body
