The Nikon DX Format image sensor
The Nikon DX Format CCD image sensor is optimized
to deliver a wide dynamic range that produces great
p i c t u r e s w it h h i g h
resolution and superbly
sharp details. With 6.1
effective megapixels, the
sensor produces 3,008 x
2,000-pixel images so you can make large prints and
crop for creative detail. Each of the sensor’s pixels
incorporates individual micro-optics that precisely
align the image from the camera’s lens to optimize
performance, whether using AF Nikkor lenses already
owned or high quality DX Nikkor lenses designed as
digital dedicated optics. All Nikon digital SLR cameras
employ the DX Format, establishing high performance
and uniformity you’ll appreciate as your Nikon digital
SLR system grows.
