Expo features

Nikon Expo Solutions is the essential event of the year for professional photographers, bringing together all aspects of digital photography under one roof over two action-packed days. It’s an unmissable combination of state-of-the-art hardware, software and printing solutions, plus interactive photo opportunities, seminars, tutorials and expert advice – and it’s absolutely free.

New products: D3X, D700 & D90

Nikon UK introduce its new top-of-the-range premium D-SLR - the D3X. Building on the reliability, handling and durability of the award-winning D3, the D3X offers an imaging sensor with over twice the resolution of the revolutionary D3, breaking new ground in image quality.

The all-new 24.5MP CMOS sensor makes the new model eminently suitable for the broadest range of shooting situations, both in the studio and on location – ideal for photographers seeking unrivalled detail.

The D3X boasts a specially-developed FX-format CMOS image sensor with 12-channel readout, gapless micro lens array and on-chip noise reduction. It delivers class-leading levels of continuous shooting speed and noise management at higher sensitivities without sacrificing detail.

The D3X supports a broad ISO range from ISO 100-1600, extendable down to ISO 50 and up to 6400 equivalent with up to 5 fps continuous shooting at full resolution, or 7 fps in the 10MP DX-crop mode. The acclaimed MultiCAM3500FX 51-point autofocus system enables extreme accuracy with outstanding dynamic tracking for fast moving subjects in low light.

Be amongst the first to get hands on with this amazing camera.

Also at the show will be the new FX-format D700, which shares core technologies and capabilities with the award-winning D3. Features include a 12.1 megapixel CMOS image sensor, wide sensitivity range, EXPEED image processing and Multi-CAM 3500FX autofocus, plus a small, highly portable body built to Nikon’s exacting quality standards.

The new 12.3 megapixel D90 offers innovative high-performance features direct from the award-winning D300, plus cinematic results with its high definition movie function. The improved DX-format CMOS image sensor and optimised EXPEED technology give you the high resolution, high-speed image processing for which Nikon professional D-SLRs are renowned.
