Many sellers (especially on the Internet) will lead you to believe that their product is a genuine Nikon USA model, but how can you be sure? At Cameta Camera we have spent the past 20+ years dedicated to customer satisfaction. We do not sell ANY gray market or parallel import products and do not believe in misleading advertising. All of our Nikon products are purchased from Nikon USA directly and they include all supporting warranty documents to prove it. Another point to consider is that rebate offers are only honored by Nikon if the product is a Nikon USA version (they will know according to the serial number of the product). Don't be disappointed by purchasing a product that is not guaranteed by Nikon USA!   Nikon D3 Digital SLR Camera Extraordinary Speed... Uncompromised Versatility... the revolutionary Nikon D3 defines a new benchmark in professional photography. Nikon's first full-frame digital SLR camera includes an array of features that produce beautiful photos and give users an unprecedented level of control. The D3, the result of years of development and feedback from professional photographers, combines many innovative Nikon technologies. These include an exclusive 12.1 effective megapixel FX format (36.0x23.9mm) image sensor with 12-channel read out, a blazing-fast 9fps frame rate, expandable ISO settings from 200-6400, a 51-Point autofocus system, a 3-inch VGA LCD screen with Live View and a cutting-edge image processing system.   Key Features: Full-Frame FX Format Image Sensor The D3 FX format CMOS imaging sensor was designed from the ground up to offer exceptional light transmission properties, so photographers can acquire outstanding image quality even in low light conditions. With a high signal to noise ratio, a pixel pitch 15% larger than competitive cameras, gapless surface micro-lenses and advanced on-chip noise reduction means high-quality images under very low light levels are now possible. The sensor enables an ISO settings range from 200-6400, expandable up to the equivalent of 25,600 or down to 100. EXPEED Image Processing System The EXPEED image processing system is at the heart of the D3's ability to capture and process massive amounts of data at high definition. The EXPEED system includes both hardware and years of Nikon image processing experience. The D3 EXPEED system features 14-bit analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion with 16-bit image processing, both of which contribute to delivering results with Nikon's signature 'look and feel' of rich accurate colors, smooth skin gradations and exceptional detail. Scene Recognition System The D3 features a radical new approach to calculating exposures and white balance with intelligent support for Autofocus tracking performance as well. At the heart of the Scene Recognition System is Nikon's renowned 1005-pixel RGB metering sensor that has been modified to distinguish subjects' shape and position for improved auto exposure and Autofocus accuracy. State-of-the-Art 3.0" LCD Screen and High Definition Compatibility Everything about the D3 is high definition. From the HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) port for output to the latest HD displays to the 3-inch VGA LCD screen with 170-degree viewing angle, images can be played back at very high levels of detail. The VGA screen also comes into its own when using the Live View function premiered in the D3 and D300. Unlike other live view technologies, autofocus in possible in all Nikon Live View modes. Advanced Autofocus Building on years of development through both the analogue and digital SLR era, Nikon has once again raised the bar for optical Autofocus systems. The D3 and D300 feature a 51-Point autofocus system designed to acquire and track subjects' movement more accurately. The result of intensive studies into how professional sports and news photographers use autofocus, the Multi-CAM3500 AF module features the most AF points ever developed for a SLR camera. The inspired coupling of the AF module with Nikon's easy-to-use 8-direction multi selector button makes selecting instant individual AF points simple and fast. As one would expect the AF system can be completely customized for every possible shooting condition. Scorching Speed, Intuitive Response The image quality of the D3 is combined with outstanding frame rate options. At 9 fps, the D3 is the world's fastest full format D-SLR1, with an even faster 11fps2 consecutive shooting possible in DX crop mode. A second crop mode is also premiered in the D3, with 5:4 (30mm x 24mm) aspect ratio. Shutter release time lag is an imperceptible 41 milliseconds (CIPA standard), while the image sensor's integrated high-speed 12-channel readout contributes both to burst speed and Live View performance. The D3 also gets to work quickly; startup time is just 0.12 seconds and mirror black out is only 74ms. Super-Durable Shutter Unit The D3 incorporates a Nikon manufactured shutter unit tested to over 300,000 cycles. The shutter blades are constructed from a durable composite Kevlar and carbon fiber material to deliver unmatched durability and accuracy even in the most demanding of conditions. Picture Control System Nikon's Picture Control system, developed with the help of extensive feedback from photographers, offers improved productivity for JPEG shooters. Picture Control lets users of all levels manage and customize the appearance of their images in camera. This on-board processing saves significant post processing time. With a variety of default settings, photographers can also customize and share settings. Nikon anticipates photographic communities might develop their own Picture Control settings for specific subjects and conditions. Picture Control replaces the existing Color Mode settings of current Nikon cameras. High Contrast Subjects, Low Risk The Active D-Lighting feature of the D3 adds to its JPEG capabilities. Prior to shooting under high contrast conditions, users can apply a pre-set curve that processes images with improved shadow and highlight details, without affecting overall contrast. Flexible Image Storage The D3 is the world's first D-SLR to offer dual CompactFlash card slots for outstanding storage flexibility. A photographer can shoot images to each card one after the other, or simultaneously, as back up. When shooting combined NEF and JPEG files, the NEF image can be written to one card and the JPEG version to the other. Image files can also be selected and copied from one card to the other after shooting. One Tough Customer Long the choice of professionals, Nikon SLRs are renowned for withstanding the most challenging conditions. From freezing temperatures of the arctic to the humidity of the rainforest, Nikon's keep working long after other cameras have ceased to operate, and the D3 is built to continue this tradition. Magnesium alloy is used for the exterior cover, chassis and mirror box, while the seams and buttons of the camera body are sealed against the affects of dust and moisture. Wireless Networking Capability Nikon pioneered wireless image transmission. With the Nikon Wireless Transmitter WT-43, the era of the multi camera network has arrived. Not only can one transmit ('push') images to servers and remotely control the camera from afar, the WT-4 also enables remote browsing of the camera's image thumbnails as well. In a wireless environment, networks of up to 5 D3 and D300 cameras can be established. At a sports event, for example, photo editors could browse all thumbnails on each camera simultaneously, selecting ('pulling') the images they need, while the photographers continue shooting.   Nikon 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED-IF AF-S VR DX Zoom Lens The Nikon AF Zoom Nikkor 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX VR II is an all-in-one 11.1x zoom lens, ideal for dedicated amateurs and professionals to use for countless situations and occasions, such as landscape, architecture, portrait, wedding, wildlife, holidays, expeditions and general travel photography. It is also ideal for news- and press photographers. This lens features the improved VR II (Vibration Reduction) system that allows handheld telephoto zoom shooting even in poorly lit conditions. The VR system minimizes image blur caused by camera shake, and offers the equivalent of shooting at a shutter speed 4 stops faster. Key Features: DX lenses are exclusively designed for use with Digital SLR cameras with the smaller APS-C size chip; equivalent focal length in 35mm terms is 27-300mm. VR II (Vibration Reduction) minimizes image blur caused by camera shake and enables the lens to shoot 4 stops slower (instead of 3 stops with the former VR system). 2 ED glass and 3 aspherical lens elements minimize chromatic aberration, astigmatism and other forms of distortion, while ensuring high resolution and contrast. Built-in A/M switch enables instant switching from autofocus to manual focus (Lock mechanism provided) Silent Wave Motor for ultra-fast, ultra-quiet AF. The Internal Focusing (IF) design means that the filter attachment does not rotate during focusing or zooming, and enables the use of circular polarizing filters. The rounded diaphragm (7 blades) makes out-of-focus elements appear more natural. 1-Year Subscription to PCPhoto Magazine What’s the most valuable accessory for your new camera? ....Knowledge!
