Photos: Hands-on with the Nikon D3 and D300

The D3 packs a 12.1-megapixel CMOS sensor that boasts an ISO range of 200 to 6,400. It includes a whopping 51 autofocus points.

A Kevlar/carbon fibre-composite shutter and Expeed image-processing engine enable it to shoot at 9 frames per second -- and possibly makes it bulletproof. The environmentally sealed magnesium alloy body is certainly tough -- you'd hope so for £3,800.
