4 / 5
-
Sony A900 (DSLR-A900)
-
Nikon D700
-
Canon EOS 5D Mark II
-
Nikon D3x
-
Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III
At twice the megapixel count of the earlier D3, the Nikon D3x is suitable for immensely detailed landscape and nature photography. However, there are not enough additional features to justify a price almost twice that of the Nikon D3.
