About $8000 for the body only. (Yikes)


24,5 Megapixel in FX-Format
3D Color Matrix II, Center-Weighted and Spot Metering
1 - 7 fps
1/8000 to 30 seconds shutter
ISO equivalency 100 to 1,600
2 lb 11 oz / 1220 g
Price est. $7,995 USD body


Another FX-format camera means that Nikon will jump back with both feet
into the production of full-frame lenses, updating some of the current
ones and introducing new ones.


SW Tom should buy of the new D3X boxes...


I have a friend who would be the one to buy this camera. *But he makes
his living as a professional photographer, and lots of his are Corporate
annual reports where they need high quality photos. *Most of his pics are
stored on the computer hooked up to the camera and are 200 mbytes or
greater. *The rest of us use the $1000 or less Nikon SLR.
Really? Most of the pros I know use larger format cameras for large-page
annual reports and other publications where the highest quality is
required. *Hasselblads rule. Nothing wrong with 35mm frame size, of
course, but bigger images are better, quality-wise.


Guy has not shot film in years. *All digital.


I just ordered this for my back up camerahttp://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/571017-REG/Hasselblad_70380532_...


Man, and I thought that *I* was cheap!
