Nikon officially unveils new flagship: D3X

Last day, Nikon finally pulled the veil of secrecy from the new SLR camera, the flagship of the entire line, D3X, and it turned out that almost everything that went in the form of rumors was true.
The full-format giant has a 24.5-megapixel CMOS sensor with a high signal-to-noise ratio and is capable of up to 5 frames per second (7 in the FX framing mode), ISO sensitivity range: from 100 to 1600. Since the camera is professional, we can say and the numbers that are important for understanding people: the camera’s turn-on time is 0.12 seconds, and the Kevlar shutter lag is 0.04 seconds.

Proprietary autofocus system (AF 51st point), EXPEED image processing system, improved image recognition system, 3-inch VGA display, dual CF card slot, HDMI-video output - all this is standard, you only have to pay extra to pay in new camera GPS module.

The price in Russia has not yet been announced, Western resources speak of accessibility for a considerable $ 8,000.
A full technical description for those interested under the cut.
