Nikon launches it’s newest DSLR flagship : the D3. According to it’s specs it has the fastest start up time, shortest shutter lag and shortest viewfinder blackout time. It’s equipped with a 12.1-megapixel FX format CMOS sensor, a 3-inch, 190,000-pixel VGA viewfinder that has a 170-degree viewing angle, live view, a 51-point autofocus system with 15 cross-type AF points, and a 200-6400 ISO range. And dropped into Hi 2 Mode can hit a crazy ISO equivalent of 25,600.

It’s capable of shooting 9 fps burst in full frame and 11 fps used in cropped smaller. Also, it has dual CF card slots. This beauty of a camera is packed inside of a magnesium alloy body which feels battle-hardened enough to survive a war. Because of this it weighs a little bit too much . Shipping will start in November at a price of $4999.
