The latest offering in the new Nikon Digital SLR D Series camera was released in December, and designed in the same mode as their other D series cameras. This camera has been completely designed with the professional photographer in mind, but it will also be appreciated by any photography buff.
12.1 Megapixel Image Sensor
The new megapixel sensor has been completely redesigned, thus enabling images to be taken in very low light situations. It also now allows for high def movie capture, and has the ability to capture clips at 24 frames per second, with sound in stereo. This feature now allows the professional photographer to pick out any still frame and use it as a picture.
One of the most important features of the newest camera in this series is the 12.1 megapixel "image sensor". Now in the darkest situations pictures will still come out clear, unlike in the past where it would be hard to see the image. Nature photographers will also appreciate the near silent shutter release as it significantly lessens the sound of the mirror return. This is an important feature for photographers who need as much queit as possible.
Movie To Image
The ability to lift pictures from the high def movie capture will be of particular value to professional photographers, as it will give them a wide range of images to choose from. This is especially important to sports photographers and news photographers who depend on images for their jobs. The Nikon Digital SLR D Series gives them more options, especially when they are unable to use flash to enhance a picture. Even when using it for situations where the subject is moving quickly, this camera handles it with ease.
Crop Mode
The Nikon Digital SLR D Series comes with a new crop mode, which now allows photographers to choose from 5:4, 1.2 and DX. This reduces the file size and allows for lens magnification. There are also 5 lighting options and 4 control levels for manual use.
Camera sensors are so finely tuned that objects that are nearly invisible to see, will come out sharp and free of any noise in the picture. The new D35 uses an image sensor function that cleans vibrations from the image at 4 different frequencies. This will lessen the static dust on the low pass filter. This has resulted in no change in the viewfinder.
The camera is designed for any temperature extreme and has a lightweight magnesium construction that is weather sealed. Numerous O-rings protect the camera from dust, humidity and electromagnetic interference.
Memory Card Slots
The camera comes with two CF card slots and allows the photographer to choose different tasks for each slot. The double slots also allow for a large amount of data to be stored, and the possibility of using one card as a backup of the other.
Batteries
The rechargeable batteries for the camera are now designed to be longer lasting. Photographers now have the ability to store as many as 4,200 images on one charge. The Nikon Digital SLR D Series is a lightweight camera, weighing in at just over 2 pounds making this camera very easy to carry. A number of optional accessories are available.
