The Nikon D3x is the company's latest high-end SLR, designed for studio use. This model costs $7999 without lens, and weighs a massive 43 oz (1.2kg), as it's meant to spend most of its life on a tripod rather than carried around your neck. The D3x is ...

Sure, it can't match the D3X's 24.5MP, but at 21.1MP, this Canon's no slouch. … If you mainly shoot in a studio environment, where you won't need high ISOs, the 1Ds Mark III might be the camera for you — especially if you already have an arsenal of ...

Attention Kmart shoppers: all of those pundits who claimed that the megapixel madness was over were wrong. It's not, and unless I'm woefully mistaken (always a possibility) I don't think the D-SLR megapixel race is going to end anytime soon, or at ...

This new studio-oriented DSLR from Nikon may be priced high for the times but its image quality is drop-dead gorgeous.
