Quick review

The good
Excellent image quality, excellent ergonomics, great design and control layout, menu system, comprehensive feature set and customisability
The bad
Fastest frame rate only available in DX format mode, low(ish) resolution compared to its Canon competition the EOS 1Ds Mk III
Verdict
Nikon’s new flagship DSLR is a beast of a camera that sports Nikon’s latest FX format full frame (in 35mm format terms) CMOS sensor and full pro specification in terms of rugged build and shooting controls. It’s not cheap but then it is a lot of camera
