Our 2009 Camera of the Year, it’s the image-quality champ of current DSLRs—and should be for a while. Built like a tank, heavy and expensive, but those who love it don’t care. Has the fastest AF in low light.
You've read it here before: Megapixels aren't everything. Now that the 24.5MP Nikon D3X ($8,000, street, body only) has become the third full-frame DSLR to break the 20MP barrier, how well does that simple truth hold up?
Very well indeed.
As we pointed out in our Hands On last month (February 2009), raising the pixel count involves some tradeoffs. Not just for Nikon, but for the other powerhouses in this category, the Canon EOS-1Ds Mark III ($6,550, street, body only) and Sony Alpha 900 ($3,000, street, body only).
