So, what exactly is a D3x, you ask?
It’s a D3 whose primary digital board and sensor have been updated and replaced (respectively). That appears to be the only change (there may be some minor tweaks and menu choices that we can’t see short of disassembling the two side-by-side and doing a full scroll of the menu system, but I expect those things to be beyond minor in practice). Swap out the D3’s sensor for a new stuffed-with-pixels one, swap in a slightly redesigned digital logic board. Voila, D3x.

After countless leaks, the Nikon D3X is finally official! All you need to know is that it’s a slightly slower D3 with a 24.6 megapixel sensor — higher resolution but not as good in low-light. This is exactly the camera that I, and pretty much everyone else, predicted more than six months ago, so in a strange way it feels like old news. Of course, as a D3 and D700 user, I’m totally in the tank for Nikon, right? Wrong. Please watch as I ruin any chance at sponsorship.

It’s official: in the next few weeks, Nikon will begin shipping a high resolution counterpart to the D3. Called the D3X, the widely-leaked new digital SLR from Nikon will incorporate a 24.39 million image pixel CMOS sensor, a standard ISO range of 100-1600 and 5 fps full resolution shooting rate into a body that is effectively the same as the D3. The D3X, Nikon’s highest resolution digital SLR to date, is slated to reach retailers in December 2008 at an expected street price of US$7999.95 in the U.S.

Through blogs, file-sharing and social networking functions on the Internet, dozens of eyewitness reports, some coming from within the two besieged hotels, delivered information faster than conventional media and challenged some of its reporting. Twitter, a user-generated service that delivers text message-sized “tweets,” for instance, reported that there was still gunfire inside the Taj Mahal long after Indian media had said it was finished. Others transcribed lists of casualties from the hospitals faster than mainstream media could access it.
While some hailed the online reporting as “a social media experiment in action,” much of the information on Twitter was woefully inaccurate. Reports of casualties in the thousands were wrong. So too, apparently, was a report that the government had asked Twitter users to stop reporting for fear that they too might help the attackers.

The best assistance I could ever render to dwarfs is to be their friends, perhaps if they happen to be my course-mate. Aside that, I cannot shop for dwarfs, com-m-on. Though I like to watch them in their very funny statures because they are quite funny and portable to walk with. I also like them because, many of them have great dreams while some of them are great achievers. Most dwarfs don’t limit themselves in their life pursuit. Most of them are very serious and work harder than people with greater heights
