Hello photographers,Flavio from Italy here,yeah I'm a spaghetti guy... :))) Ok I was a pro photographer (reporter) in the years 80/90's usually working with Nikon F2 ( I still have 2 bodies) 35 mm f1.4 ,55 mm f.1.2. 85 mm f.1.8 H series,135mm f.2.5 ais few zoom like 80-200 f2.8 and so on.... I still have all those great lenses... I restart with photgraphy 2 years ago with an old Nikon D3,great camera bought used with 300k shots,just to see if I could back as pro...I've got some job and in the next 2or 3 months I'll open my own studio. In the meantime, I've bought a Nikon D3x and a Nikon D4 used ofcourse... a 28/70 f2,8 nikon and a 70/200 f2.8 VR, both for 1000 eu. You know what? I don't care about billions pixel, with this 2 cameras I worked frorm Wedding cerymony to the street photography or sport reportage... Resoults??? The video here says everything I guess... I've bought the D3x for 400 eu shutter count of 45.000 looks still like new,and a D4 with 193.000 shots for 800 eu total 1.200 euros. Ridicolous price for the quality of the files I have in any situation, Better the D3x in studio and great the D4 in all situations. Question is it worth to spend 6000 eu for one ML camera when I can have a great resoults with 1.200 and 2 cameras? Thank you and sorry for my bad english. P.s. Vahagraphy,thx for your great videos...
Was immediately attracted to this video and it didn't let me down. I would never have thought that a 14 year old camera - although a professional on like the D3 - could compete with the latest top model from Nikon. And if you consider the ability of the photographer behind these cameras there is no point to change all the time your gear and upgrade it to the latest model. It confirms me to stick with my D850 and spend more time learning to take better pictures. Well done, thank you!
Thank you Jean. For some reason youtube has not yet let the 4K version of this clip run yet. re watch it when it becomes available. Makes a heck of a difference on a monitor with the image samples.
FInally 4K hehe
You have to consider the AF technology in the cameras, for some that’s a huge improvement but maybe for landscape, portraits, studio not so.
@@sexysilversurfer genauso sieht es aus....
It’s not the d3 , but the d3x. It was a revelation. A lot was spoken about the the price , but Rut image quality was a jumó. Clearly he is showing it under ideal circumstances. If you are recovering shadows etc the D3x will fall apart faster than say the d850 (don’t know about the Z9 that is not the image quality too dog from Nikon the d850 and the z7 ii are better)
I have to admit that I prefer the D3X files better. There is something sexy about that warmer tone. That said, I am assuming that the Z9 color rendition is closer to reality. That D3X sensor really stacks up nicely compared to today's sensor technology! I'm really impressed!
exactly. and that was the whole point of this video. what you said. just to see how it stacks up . image quality. starting point. thats it.
Great comparison...I prefer the D3x files myself, perhaps I'm biased since I still use a D3x! For me, 16 to 24 mp is the sweet spot. I simply don't need 45mp and I don't shoot birds. The D3x simply renders wonderful files...very artsy like the D4! You've just shown us that we don't need to keep upgrading our gear and DSLRs are far from dead.
Great gear, don't sell it
and for the price too, it's still very good for an "old" camera!
This was so interesting, thanks for making this comparison! The Z9 seems to have more accurate white balance overall, but the D3x, just like the other DSLR flagships of that era, just seems to create more depth and “pop” which is arguably just as important as accurate color balance!
I would like to see a Portrait photo shoot comparison (people 😃)with those two beast.
Coming soon. 105 E.
By construction, a lifetime with the D3X. For image quality, even more so. The first thing you notice, indeed, is that there is a warmer tone to the D3X. But what most strikes me is the variety and richness in the colors of the D3X. If I had a Z9 I would sell it to buy another D3X.
Wow, what a terrific video ...thank you!! I preferred the D3x colors better in all photos including when you set the WB to 5800 on both cameras. In the tap and stick photos in particular the D3x warmer colors also showed better depth rendition and detail. The only place were I liked the Z9 better was with the closeup of the fence where at all ISO settings the Z9 was much sharper. I loved the rendering of all the D3x photos you showed at the end! It would seem that the D3x is best suited to an artist, and the Z9 is best suited to a working professional.
The color rendition of the D3 series is unbelievably great. It is also better than the Nikon Df which has a D4 sensor. I don't know why Nikon abandoned this great color science.
I have owned a number of Nikon cameras over the years with my last a D500 purchased a few years ago and has proved itself with excellent results for pet and animal photography. Recently I got a chance to branch out with the business and decided a full frame camera was needed so started looking at the Nikon mirrorless cameras. The Z9 caught my attention but at over £5000 plus lenses I felt that was a big jump for a relatively small part of my business. Lo and behold I found this video and what a great video it is. It told me about all the things I needed to hear and see. Guess what! My full frame camera is going to be the best D3X I can find as it presses all the right buttons and my Canon A3 printer is going to get busier. Thank you for creating this video as I feel you have saved me a lump of cash and maybe stopped me from over complicating my life with buying a camera that offers probable far more capability than I need. All the best.
Well thank you for the nice comments. Hope it works out. But also keep in mind you are buying older tech. Also, the low light performance is not that great. tracking on moving subjects will not come close to a Z system. Finding a good condition body with no issues will be a challenge because of the time past. 14 years. These samples are before any edits. I'd say if you had to get something newer and FF and still stick with DSLR. try a D850, its newer. more pixels. more advanced camera.
I will stick with my Nikon D 810 . It does the job extremely well . Thanks for your analysis of the two cameras here .
Excellent video V ! Just goes to show that older cameras have not lost their ability to take great pictures. If your camera still does the job, why upgrade. And of course, great Nikon glass never goes bad!! I do like the differences in the images from the two sensors. Rock and Roll !!
THank you James. Glad you enjoyed the video. More to come soon.
I am not one to chase technology (I am old school having started photography over 40 years) and in my teaching photography I stress to my students that chasing technology is unnecessary. This video proves my point. I have had my D3x for a few years now and I am still in love with it.
It certainly is not designed for high ISO or for speed but for studio/portrait and landscape work, which is what the camera was designed for it is a beast.
Thank you for this comparison, I have only just come across it.
Thx for this comparison. As a long time Nikon user I spent years and years before changing from F to D, always in search of better image quality. Finally I felt arrived with my D850s and the fact is amazing that you can put on almost any Nikon F lens to them and it simply works. Am I doing this? Not really but I could. Changing for D to Z would be a huge step for me. Not ready at this point especially after watching your video. Finally the results are counting not the gear you are using. From the artistic point of view on photography, you wouldn't judge about the paint brush of the artist but about his pictures. Thx again. Greetings from Switzerland.
Loved this comparison and actually enjoyed the D3x pictures a bit more! As a hobbyphotographer who doesnt make a single dollar on photography its great to see the old flagships keeping up in IQ. I'm gonna keep my D800 and D4s for a while :)
👍👍👍
You have just shown the world why I kept using the D3x for the best part of a decade! Image Quality!
Fred Flintstone era features, 3fps max in raw, dinosaur Af, sculpted out of a piece granite... but Yabba dabba doo.....
Thank you Nilo. Great camera. hidden used market gem. The AF is fast, 5FPS all you need really for most situations if that. the camera delivers very nice results.
@@Vahagraphy 5fps came with a dreaded asterisk, in lossless 14bit raw was 2 to 3 fps, Af was good but limited to the lens for speed, the main issue was the limited number of Af points and tracking capabilities compared to later DSLR’s, slower processors... it never bothered me, I still use manual lenses, and when needed I was using the D3s.
D3 D4 are my dream as a amateur I enter competition and belong to the disabled photographic society. I really appreciate your videos so informative.
I don't own a Nikon D9 but I have a Nikon D3x and a Nikon D4s and had a Nikon D5 and Nikon D6... The image quality of the Nikon D3x with Nikon 105 1.4 E puts everything I have in the shade at low iso to iso 400 from Nikon know that is painting with light! My favorite list Nikon D3x Nikon D4s and Nikon D3s. Everything else is cold coffee...Don't compromise Nikon D3x is Nikon's ever built camera. The workshop also says it couldn't be better and that's a fact
Now I have to shoot portraits with the D3X and see for myself. I was shocked my these amazing results here and this is just scratching the surface. I was just shooting anything. Doing portraits well, cnt wait.
hello yes do it best with the 105 1.4E The results will blow your mind, unbelievable what they are selling today, just because the A9 is faster doesn't mean it's better. In terms of image quality, I even let the D3x compete against a Nikon D5 and D6. You can see that the black and white transitions in the dynamic range of the D5 D6 run smoothly. LG Reinhold from Berlin Lichterfelde.
I bought the D3x on the day of availability back in 2008 and just loved it. I still have 300mp stitches made with it that blow my Phaseone IQ4-150 out of the water! But... the Z9 is amazing too and Z lenses are just better.
This is an awesome video, and thank you for demonstrating that while new camera and lens technology may provide lightning-fast results with pinpoint accuracy, it does not always imply a higher standard of beauty and aesthetics.
Thank you Albert. I think this test fits its purpose. I think what I wanted to portray here I did. Without making it to technical. Simple, snap a picture, same settings, take the body off , mount the other body, take a picture. since im using the 400, im basically doing the opposite, instead of taking the lens off the tripod, im taking the camera off the lens. but next time around I will change a few things up, also shoot the Z9 on iso64 like many have mentioned they want to see.
@@VahagraphyI like how you kept it simple since you recognize that some technical components of both cameras are mismatched. Anyone who believes otherwise is probably missing the point. Once again, thank you for making such a fantastic video.
Love your videos. Made me buy a d700 and d4
I hope you made a good decision buying those cameras. hehe. I would say, good choice . thank you Jay. Appreciate the kind words.
Excellent video. I still use a D700 every day.
Awesome comparison. I would be curious to see the results if you used the natural light Wb on z9 vs d3x. Saying this, I owed all of Nikons flagship dslrs, and the d3 always produced the best rich beautiful warm colors compared to the others. Rock and roll
Nikon pics have always had the best color rendition out of all major brands. Its' good to know they haven't messed with the color science except maybe being a bit cooler now.
The real improvement have been in focusing, in camera processing, exposure and resolution.
Great job!!! Another reason to luv the Z9!!!
What a pleasure to watch such a nice rock'n'roll guy being so much in love with photography.
What a positive person you are.
Thank you Vahagn.
For those about to rock, we salute you!
The D3x files seem to have a broader and more natural colour pallette, with an almost 3-dimensional "pop" (comparable to my D3s and D700) , than the Z9., to my eyes at least. That said, the Z9 files ain't too shabby, but would need more post processing to bring out their best.
My first full-frame camera was the D3X, purchased five years ago. I still have it! Superb camera that is only limited in certain respects, the main one being its lack of high ISO performance. If you have plenty of light, or even if you are a long-exposure landscape photographer using a tripod, it's superb. I also own a D750, a D3 and a D4S. In terms of image quality and colour rendering, it's still hard to beat the D3X.
Yes all you need is that little bit of light and a good tripod. Solid images out of the D3X. I like the fact that my files don't have a digitized look to them using the D3X. It looks almost analog with depth in the image if that makes sense. I say hold on to that D3X and never sell it.
I own one too, you're right about everything
V this was an eye opener! I really didn't expect it at all! great Job!
THank you Mike. Glad you enjoyed it. More to come with the D3X in today's times.
Wow, what a really good comparison between the Z9 and D3X flagship cameras. The D3X sure is really good camera for the time it was made and how it stands next to the Z9 today. I like the color and warmth of the D3X, the bokeh is really good and the details is really good. It's so cool thinking that you have 4 Nikon flagship cameras from different years and the great lenses that you have for the F mount cameras must feel like there is nothing that you can't photograph.
Il will purchase tomorrow 23/11/2023 a mint Nikon D3X at €700 , first hand. This video definitively convinced me the correctness of my choice. Regards from the south west of France .
I prefer the D3X files every time. Better detail with fewer megapixels....bang for the buck! Great video!
Big time Bang for the Buck. Thank you BIll. Now I need to change the little clock battery, easy fix. Didnt know the latch was in the battery housing.
What a great comparison video! I think eBay will sell a lot of D3x in the next few days. I may be bidding on a D3x today! Thank you for the awesome video! I shoot real estate so the Z9 color looked better for that. I pre-orderd the Z9 still haven't received yet, but I'm in no hurry for it. Have a wonderful day!
hehe you may be right, the next best OLD camera, the D3X. thats too funny you say that. Or sellers might be thinking twice about selling it now. lol j/k. When you make tests like this, after the fact you think, I could of done this or that, i should of said this or that. its not 100 percent, its all for the fun and love of cameras and photography. Z9 is a beast and we all know why. By no means will the D3X take the new flagships place. My next test will be to use an average lens or maybe a more common wider lens and shoot the Z9 at iso 64 like many have commented on here.
Great video, still rocking my D3s !
D3, D3s and D3X have the same excellent sensor and I remember once I talked with some photographers at the time of the D5 launch(I ain't) and they told me that they had to switch to the new ones for working reasons but regret having done it because they noticed the extreme better quality of the predecessor lines (the sensor) even though the technology improvements the new ones had brought up! I own a D3s and I am so jealous of it. It all depends on your tastes in terms of results but the D3 line was capable of astonishing outputs
Yes, I believe the D3 and D4 sensors are made by Nikon. The D4 for sure is. Amazing sensor n that camera. I couldn't be happier with the D3X.
Great video my friend! I'm glad you incorporated our 400 2.8. I have the D3s,D5, D850. I actually liked the D3x photos better. Take care,and Rock on my friend!
Its crazy. I get that allot with this D3x camera. Is this like a hidden gem forgotten and abandoned by the used market. Well i believe only 23K made , compared to the other bodies, its a low number. Thank you William.
Thank you for the wonderful video comparing Nikon D3x with Nikon Z9, I have a D3s myself and have now bought a d3x, I'm looking forward to the results, thank you very much for this detailed and informative video and um, I know now, I'll love the d3x. I don‘t need the video option, cause I have a Fuji xt3 etc. But I love this elder Nikon cam, cause the bokee and the Megapixel.. best greetings from Hamburg/Germany. Chris
Thank you for this video. I know about you from Iliya stream. Your content is good!
Thank you so much Dmitriy and welcome to Vahagraphy. Happy to have you here. LLIYA is a great guy. I really enjoyed the live stream yesterday.
Great review. It is remarkable how good the D3X images looked; really impressive.
Yes they do. Good light, good lens, no problem. hehe
I was surprised how well the D3X stood up here. Good content.
Me too, shocked really. Yes I could of done things a bit different but with these type tests. they are always not 100 percent scientific. There is always light shift. the elements. you know, specially when dealing with a big lens like this.
Another excellent video! Camera companies will always want to sell you their newest flagship, but really it's what's behind the camera that makes the most difference. I wondered if the slightly different bokeh was down to the FTZ adapter. A few more pieces of glass for the light to travel through...
As a note, FTZ adapter doesn't have any glass. It just adjusts the distance from the glass to the sensor to match the same distance as with an old F Mount camera.
@@jjorozco3456 Thanks. I didn't know that, but it makes sense.
Thank you Dobbs. glad you enjoyed it. Like JJ said, the adapter has no glass elements.
great combo you've got there! And I do love OVF as well man! (great drumming by the way)
thanks man, ROCK N ROLL!!!!
There is something about that generation of Nikons. My favorite is the D300. When I compare the images I get from my D300 to my D7000, D600 or D7100, the D300 seems to render a much better image.
I fully agree. My pair of D300s are phenomenal. I'm a film shooter, but I find shooting with the D700 and D300 equally satisfying.
Very surprising. I knew the D3X would be very good, but expected the Z9 to strongly outperform it-but in almost every photo I preferred the D3X! In the first shot I really even couldn’t tell a visible resolution advantage on the Z9. I’m sure the Z9 can be tweaked a bit more to look as good as the D3X, but straight out of camera the D3X is very impressive!
Yes I was very surprised. But let me say. With some tweeaks the power of the Z9 file with pull ahead. As far as resolution, if I did this same test with a wider lens, maybe landscape, then you will see a clear advantage. Using a super tele here is probably not the best to compare that. and as far as low light, well. hehe. you know. that said the D3X is a keeper and will use this camera even in today's times.
Ultimate warrior was my favorite too brother. Great video!
He was amazing. AS a kid he was my all time fav. Loved the WWF .
very interesting, you know i have exactly the same experience, with my old 2007 canon 1ds mark3. i ve a wow effect each time i go back to see those pictures i took with it. the colors, the sharpness of those old sensors, made only for photos and not videos, it was so good
Confirmed my thoughts on the 3X its an amazing camera had mine since it came out and got it for a bargain price, iam a pro and shoot Phase iq160 and have every Nikon from D3 to D6
and have not gone to the Z as yet , i still use the 3X on commercial shoots as it is just as good as the iq160 and far lighter, the big down side is getting a D3X repaired by Nikon as the parts now are not available as i just had mine repaired by Nikon 2 months wait and a massive bill 500 US to repair a black screen , and was told don't expect any more repairs on it, so hope to still use it till it stops, thanks for your side by sides to confirm it cuts it today and does exactly what a camera should do shoot stills.
I think the white balance out of camera is more pleasing on the D3X right out of the camera but nothing a bit of white balance adjustment can't correct. The Z9 obviously is going to offer sharper images with its higher resolution, noise reduction is personal preference but you can obviously eliminate it if desired with either camera. The Z9 obviously has much larger ISO range but the D3X to this day is still an amazing camera and usable today it just shows you how great Nikon cameras are regardless the decade. Entertaining video, Thx for sharing - Jeff
Thank you Jeff. Ohh yah once I hot those sliders I can pretty much dial in what Im after. just thought lets see what the starting point is here. that era of Nikon cameras something special indeed.
I'm still using my D3X, and have no plans to upgrade. I will now be buying a 400mm lens since I can get one for under 3k. Thanks for the review.
I saw an amazing price on an FL version. i was like whatttttt. prices are coming down and its good news for the rest of us. bad news for those that paid 12K to own one.
What a great camera. I really wanted a D3X but no way could I pay the price when it came out. Great review Vahagn.
Thank you Mr. Chuck. I want to try portraits with it next vs a Z9 with a 105 1.4 E. Cliff's Fav.
Thanks Vahagan! I asked for this! Rock on Sir!
Rock on! Enjoy
V its the best comparison we were all waiting for.😆
Nikon d3 series are unbeatable. After that many years the images are beating any top end marque. I would never give up my d3. Best video😆👌👍🤟
Well glad you enjoyed it M. Part 2 will be made with other lenses and portraits for sure. There is a few things I want to try out. This was just a teaser for whats to come with the D3X. I had the D3 OG on launch. I remember that day clearly.
Excellent video on a very important subject.. I got my daughter the D700 and told her to learn to use it..
Interesting contrast in colors from the D3x and Z9. The D3x looks so warm and rich and the Z9 cooler temperature. I wish you had injected one additional camera into the mix. That would be your trusty D850. This would bring the megapixels range on a comparable basis to the Z9. It may also rule in the fact that the DSLR provides a warmer temperature? Thanks for this video. Good effort Vahagn! 5 stars always for the rock and rolla!!!
Wow the D3X looks amazing! I still prefer the images on the Z9, but the D3X just looks amazing for such an old camera. Very interesting comparison. If you are brand new to photography, what a time to get a great dslr.
Thank you Michael Prices are at bargain levels for pro older gear.
Thanks for your video, I'm truly surprised by the result.
This was excellent as always and interesting stuff
Glad you enjoyed it Nik. More to come. 105 E, iso 64 and more.
@@Vahagraphy can't wait to see the next photo video show.
Good afternoon Vahagra . Thanks for sharing . 💯💯💯💯💯💪💪💪💪💪 .
Really great video Vahagan.
Thank you so much. Rock n Roll
Hello V, at 7:28 I ordered a used Nikon D3x...just to show my D3 what his brother can do :)
You did? Ebay? good deal? shutter? Hope its in good shape. Its one of those cameras to hold on to for sure. I was looking at the amount of units made. its less than all the other pro dslr units out there. let me know when you get it.
Excellent video.
This video is a demonstration of what I think about the photography industry, sensors have evolved little in recent years, the evolution was only in the speed of focus and processing, the industry has to survive and does what it can, and I hate having to pay for a camera that makes 8k video if I don't even like video, I'm a photographer and I like to take photographs and that's why it's going to be very difficult for me to buy a camera without a mirror, I like to think about it every time I press the shutter, maybe because I was from the time that, in addition to focusing, I had to calculate all the parameters of the camera.
I like your channel. It’s a pity you never got back to one to one of my questions i asked you the other day. Lover form Ireland 🇮🇪 Andrew
Thank you Andrew. Glad you are enjoying the channel. I need to get around in answering some of these comments. Been crazy busy with content, talks, work for clients, and family. but I hope I answered your previous question. thanks man.
@@Vahagraphy you sure did. Thanks again. 🇮🇪
The d3x definitely holds up. Great affordable option for photographers. The z9 is essentially a video camera that can take pictures, and in that regard, it also holds up really well. Two great cameras
Finally got one for 800 bucks. A bit high but 10k shutter and in mint condition. The rubbers still shine. Must be used only in a studio I guess but 10k shutter is crazy imo. Will test it against my Z5 tomorrow because they have the same resultion but I will get the same results I guess. Did some test shots and at high ISO settings and there is noise but nothing more different than my D3s. Think that most criticism back then had to do with the insane high price. 8000 bucks which translates in todays money in 12000 bucks or something.
Congrats man, Awesome camera. 10k Shutter and $800. thats a great price. Let me know what you think after you take it for a spin a little.
@@Vahagraphy Will do. Only thing I noticed is that the sensor has developed some hot/stuck pixels. Well I shoot only RAW so Lightroom automatically takes care of those pixels. I see the same on my other older bodies as the D300. Nothing I can't handle. Maybe Nikon service can do a sensor remap. But as I said Lightroom saves the day😀
I bought the Z9 for it’s video capabilities. I am a hybrid shooter.
Definitely a clear to follow comparison that confirms cheaper, older people gear is the better value. Great images are great images.
The 24 megapixel sensor in my d750 produces that quality image you mentioned, 'cinematic look' the only thing I noticed mainly between the two is it almost appeared as though to d3x had more dynamic range, highlights are a little more blown on the z9, they're also appeared to be more noise on the z9 in the Dark Shadows, but you would have to do more significant cropping to really see the difference, large and quality prints would show the difference, be that good or bad...
Thank sir, Your comparison is very helpful
You are very welcome Le. Glad I can help.
What do you think of the 500mm f4 AFS VR the 2009 version? Apparently it wasn't as good as the 300mm 400mm and 600mm
Excellent Video… Nicely Done 👍
Thank you very much!
Beautiful comparison.... hoping to see you comparing.... Nikon Z9 and Nikon d6
THank you Ajide.
Thank you for a great review!!
You are very welcome.
I prefer the D3X here
I was def surprised at the results out of the box.
Great video, I miss my D3X !
Thank you John. This just confirms my decision to buy one of these bad boys in 2022. hehe .
I have a D3x and I love it.. I use it for portrait and street photography and it's so much better than my Z6ii and Z7ii for these things - I prefer the 'texture' and colours. Great video. Spot on!
I've been looking for D3X for a long time here in Italy, but I still haven't found one in good condition... I'll keep looking for it! Great video Sir, very interesting, thank you! P.S. I will continue to use my beloved D700, but I have to admit that a few more pixels and some less iso I wouldn't mind...
Hi, I agree with you 101%
I owned 2D3x, a 400/2.8 pre VR version and my friend owns a Z9.
That's why I understand why you feel so happy, cheers! Gabriel
Awesome. Im glad Im not alone. You see how special that camera is. The lens as well. Thanks for sharing Gabriel.
This is pretty Interesting. There are definitely different white balances on each camera.
Jedoch muss man beachten, dass der limitierende Faktor in diesem Fall das Objekt ist. Die Z Objektive sind nahezu alle merklich schärfer. Des Weiteren sollte man die Z9 auf ISO 64 einstellen. Die D3x ist eine tolle Kamera, ich nutze selber neben der Z9 noch die D4, jedoch würde ich in jeder Situation die Z9 vorziehen, da sie in allem die bessere Kamera ist.
Vahagn! Congrats on the Z9!!! Finally, right? 👍👍👍👍👍✌🏻📷🇺🇸
FINALLY HAHA. yah, if you are waiting for one, its well worth the wait. Don't cancel any pre order. hehe
Bellissimo confronto.
Io le possiedo entrambe, sia la D3x che la Z9.
Due fotocamere fantastiche... " passato " e presente.
Ma forse per certi aspetti... il passato... non è mai passato.
Viva Nikon !!!
Amo il passato di Nikon. In alcuni casi anche più del presente. D3X è una delle mie DSLR preferite di tutti i tempi, nessun video, solo phorography e amore.
@@Vahagraphy guarda con me sfondi una porta aperta. Sono molto d'accordo con te... Nikon forever !!!
pensa quelli che hanno acquistato la Z9 e vedono i risultati della D3X quanto staranno piangendo,ovviamente scherzo ma per quella cifra ti aspetteresti una macchina super top
The D3x holds it's own against the spectacular-new-kid-on- the-block Z9. It shows just how little photographers really need the extra pixels (except for large crops). It should be noted that the much older camera is using less number of pixels per mm, but larger light-gathering pixels. I prefer the warmer colours of the D3x, but of course the Z9 can easily match the warmth during editing stages (or pre-dial in settings and for jpegs to get those warmer images at time of shooting). A big plus for me with the D3x is that it has ability to shoot Nikon Tiff files. The Z9 is the first Nikon pro body to not include Tiff. A great side by side comparison, with the main big advantages of the Z9 being speed.
thanks Globe, true on what you said. the Z9 is what is needed for a flagship in 2022. but I stand on my original statement, I bought the D3X for pure enjoyment but for studio and well lit pro work. Why not. I will use it. It has plenty of life left and its a cool camera to sport around. Fells good in my hand as well.
@@Tap-a-roo FYI it's a D3x ... 😉
Great point...i did not knw the Z9 has no Tiff option....which i use a lot on my D4....
@@nickreid5939 I shoot almost entirely in Nikon Tiff (including to second backup memory card) especially with my longtime favourite, the D800. The D850 was the last DSLR with inbuilt Tiff option. The Z6 and Z7 mirrorless bodies also have the superb Tiff option. But the Z6ii, Z7ii and Z9 unfortunately do not.
The D3X is now on my wish list.
This camera is a hidden gem in 2023. Not to many know about this camera and not to many of them out there.
D3S is also a special camera;)
Beautiful and great review......Thank you.......
You are very welcome.
The tint was the color difference, using a color checker would make it more comparable. I still shoot a D3 and still love mine each camera has its place, I would still use the D3 for paid work even though my modern cameras make some things easier.
Awesome video. Love the colour richness of D3x.
Yes, I love this camera. Magic in the hands. The AF is dated , FPS is slow, but the files. the images is a thing of beauty.
Great video V! Thanks
Glad you liked it! You are very welcome.
I like the colors from the D3X, but for professional work, I'd want a more neutral base (like the Z9's) to start from.
I know what you are saying. Ofcourse Z9 for 2022 all the way. With the advances of tech and features and also having something cutting edge. yes.
D#X has warmer and stronger colors. But that does not mean it has more natural colors. Sometimes the real world is not as colorful as we like it to be.
I thought this is/was an absolutely great doc/job you did! Thank you!! Simply amazing! Also I like the way you explain the stuff - very clear voice!. (After all not everybody is from USA - watching RUclips!)
It's hard to believe, that optically (!!!) there is actually no difference between the 2 bodies! About all the other stuff - we don't need to discuss. The Z9 is a dream body! No doubt!
I have 3 requests ;-)):
Could you soon make a RUclips comparising:
a) the 2 best-sellerzoom-lenses NIKON 2.8/70-200 VR, (f and z-mount)! - and
b) between the new Nikon NIkkor Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VRZ and the 2 PRO-fix lenses 24mm and a 200mm? Just to see where the differences are beside the bokeh and (most likely) the weakness at the border, especially when taking pics with 200mm.
Looking very much forward! Thank you - and stay healthy!😉
WOW...
Bought a used D500 last month. Love it. Upgraded from a D200 purchased in 2007. Eyeing a used D850 in the next year. Also just competed the holy trinity: 12-24 (bought used last week), 24-70 (bought new in 2014), 70-200 VR (bought new in 2009).
Love to see the DSLRs still taking awesome pictures. I'm looking forward to buying all your discarded Nikon gear as you jump to mirrorless.
hehe oh yah? lol. Well, this is the best time to buy F mount. Prices are dipping and now with the economy. More people looking to unload gear they don't use. Z Mirrorless has allot to do with the used prices now. this is why I will stuill keep some DSLR stuff and at the same time doing the mirrorless thing.
AWESOME VID. THANKS. ROCK ON
Thank you so much.
Hi, thanks for the videos you make. Always to learn. In the responses, I understand you sold the Nikon d850. Think I have the D4 and wanted to sell the D3X to buy the D850. I will continue to use what I have and improve my style.
You are welcome. Yes , I sold my D850 . Great camera. I agree with you. use what you have and enjoy photography. New cameras and lenses are always welcoming and fun but not necessary.
Just bought a d3x with 11,000 actuations last week for 1 grand.Great camera. Like the comparison you did. I agree on the film like richness of the camera.
Congrats on the D3X Steve. Welcome to the D3x club my friend. More videos on this amazing camera coming soon. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you .
That was fun. Thanks.
I found this Video very interesting, I would like you to do a similar video with a z6/6ii as then you would have a fairer composition sensor megapixel wise.
Good Idea. Good point, That's next.
While I don't have the D3x and Z9, but I tested the WB between my D3 & Z6 using color temperature reading from my color meter. The result is that the Z6 is closer matched than the D3.
Amazing video, been watching the D3x for a while now and gotta admit, it is rather sexy wow . Performance is EXCELLENT. WELL NEEDED VIDEO BRO
Thanks Danny. The D3X is a keeper. Glad you enjoyed the video.
I like the D3X pictures. I use a D3 and D700, got many great photos! including fast moving things! some people argue that you need the latest? and extra fast AF! I say BS!! its about the person taking the photos!! I know guys who have all the latest gear!! looks the part etc but doesn't really come up with the pictures :) no sense of composure! or being in the right place at the right time! I have taking photos of birds with the D3! i don't need to go rambo on them with clicks! I will do quick bursts of 3-5 at the moment I think is right! I have seen photographers blast away!!! they might as well did a video :)
I like your name. Are you a Rush fan?
@@Vahagraphy not a big Rush fan but I don't think they are rubbish :) albums like Moving Pictures is cool! I am more of a Genesis, Pink Floyd fan :)
@@Gibson1976uk oops, actually made a mistake, The Seeker is a Who song covered by Rush. Darn, should of known that. What's wrong with me. lol
About to buy one for a 2nd camera.. doing a wedding. Thanks for the video
