Nikon D3x reviewed in UK

Do you need more than twenty million pixels? Canon thinks so, and you can pick up the 21 million pixel EOS 5D Mark II for a shade over £2200 on the high street.

Sony thinks so too, and it's 24 megapixel flagship, the Alpha 900 can be found for around £1700.

Nikon is the latest DSLR manufacturer to jump on the ultra high-resolution bandwagon, and it's new 24-megapixel D3x is on sale at a photographic store near you for £5500.

Professional gear comes at a premium, and it always has. The Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III from Canon, for example, offers the same resolution of the EOS 5D, but in a tougher professional quality body, with top-notch AF and metering. Its list price is very similar to that of the D3x.

Note: With the current conversion rate, the price tag of the Nikon D3x would show $8,387.42. Yes, 8 and a half thousand dollars. (1 GBP = 1.52499 USD as of today)
