Nikon's first full-frame DSLR with built-in grip — 12.1MP FX with 51-point AF and pro build.

The Nikon D3 launched in 2007 as Nikon's first full-frame DSLR, revolutionising the company's digital camera lineup. Its 12.1MP FX sensor with extraordinary high-ISO performance and 51-point AF system made it the camera of choice for photojournalists and sports photographers.

The 12.1MP full-frame CMOS sensor was revolutionary for high-ISO — clean to ISO 6400 with usable results at ISO 25600. 51-point AF system with 15 cross-type sensors. 9fps burst at FX, 11fps in DX crop. EXPEED processor. The high-ISO performance changed professional photography.

Tank-like magnesium alloy body with integrated vertical grip. Dual CF card slots. 3-inch LCD at 920k dots. Full HD video not available — pre-video era. Full weather sealing. 1240g body only. 300,000-cycle shutter.

Available used at budget to mid-range prices — incredible value for a camera that defined professional digital photography. The D3S improved high-ISO and added video. The 12.1MP feels low but the pixel-level quality is outstanding. Check shutter count. A legendary professional workhorse.
