Nikon D3

Jon — Mon, 12 May 2008 02:37:31 +0000

The Nikon D3 is the first camera from Nikon to feature a full frame senor, and is Nikon's current top model. While most DSLRs have a crop factor of about 1.5 because of their smaller senor size, the full frame sensor has no crop factor because it is about the same size as 35mm film (36 x 23.9mm); by comparison the sensor size of the Nikon D80 for example is only 23.6 x 15.8mm. As an added advantage the D3 can still be used with the Nikon DX lens designed for the smaller sensor size as well as the FX lens especially designed for the full frame sensor, although that would negate the advantage of the full frame sensor, you would gain a little speed about 11 frames per second as opposed to the 9 fps in FX mode. This is based on the fact that camera lens were original designed for 35mm film cameras.
