Commenting on Nikon D3 winning the EISA European Professional Camera 2008-2009 awards:
The Nikon D3 is the first full frame (FX format) Nikon, offering amazing image quality due to the fact that the pixels on the 12.1- megapixel CMOS sensor are much larger than usual.
These large pixels help to produce very low levels of noise, even at high ISO settings. The high-speed operation and focusing, combined with the nine frames per second continuous shooting mode in FX format, make it a good camera for action and sports photography, as well as the ideal DSLR for all round professional photographers.
Commenting on the European Professional Lens 2008-2009 awards:
This pair of NIKKOR zooms represents the ideal optical partnership to equip Nikon’s professional full frame (FX format) cameras. Covering a broad focal range at f/2.8, and delivering very high optical quality, these zooms help to project Nikon’s FX format DSLR system to the forefront of the market.
With its amazing frontal lens and only the small handicap of a quite significant size and weight, the 14-24mm establishes a new record in the short focal-length zoom category compatible with full frame sensors. Its quality compares extremely well to that of fixed focal length lenses.
The new 24-70mm is a superb lens, with an advanced optical and mechanical design that mark it out in the NIKKOR wide-standard zoom line-up. Its minimum focusing distance of 0.38m makes it an excellent general-purpose zoom.
