The Nikon D3X is aimed at wedding professionals, studio photographers, and anyone in need of a high-resolution, high-ISO, dual card slot digital SLR. The biggest upgrade on the D3X is the boost in MP offering about double the resolution. Whereas the D3 offers speed and high performance perfect for journalists and sports/action photographers, the D3X offers much higher resolution, 14-bit files at 138MB, for professional photographers. The price tag is a little steep at $7999 USD, but is comparable to the Canon 1Ds Mark III when it was first released.
