Cream of the crop. Top of the charts. #1. Best of the best. Class-leading.

Nothing we can say about this camera does it justice. It is quite simply the absolute best DSLR camera available on the current market.

Nikon calls it a "Masterpiece", and we have to agree. Normally the manufacturers use all sorts of hyperbole to promote their cameras, but in this case, they are spot on.

Speaking of spot-on, do you need incredible sharpness, razor-sharp focus, amazing color, excellent noise control, and the largest file size? Are you looking to not only amaze your clients but blow their socks off? Then this is the camera for you.

Be sure to pair this with one of Nikon's best lenses, as it will quickly reveal the shortcomings of all but the best glass.
