Limitations
The Nikon D3x lacks video recording capabilities, which may be a limitation for users requiring multimedia functions. Its continuous shooting speed is relatively modest at 5 frames per second, which might not suit fast-action photography needs. The camera uses CF memory cards exclusively, which are less common compared to newer storage technologies. The LCD screen does not support touch functionality or articulating movement, limiting flexibility in live view shooting angles. The camera body is comparatively heavier and bulkier than more recent mirrorless systems, affecting portability. Finally, the absence of built-in Wi-Fi or advanced connectivity options limits direct sharing or remote control features.
