The Nikon D3 moves the company in a radically new direction. Based around a full-frame (finally!) 12.1-megapixel sensor, the D3 is designed to make the best images possible. Utilizing a new image processing engine that provides 12- or 14-bit output, the D3 takes incredible images at high ISO and can even capture images up to ISO 25,600. The live-picture capable three-inch LCD screen is brilliant, and the dual Compact Flash slots can handle two cards at a time for unlimited high-capacity shooting. Available in November, the D3 is a great leap forward in Nikon technology.
