At its heart is a dedicated new high-performance processing chip that greatly acceleratesperformance on all levels, while also consuming less power than its predecessors. It also inheritsadvantages developed exclusively for Nikon s latest professional digital SLR cameras, combiningcolor independent analog pre-conditioning with improved 12-bit digital image processing algorithms. The result is natural-looking images that benefit from faithful color and tone reproduction. The levelof performance attained allows the new engine to rapidly and efficiently process the 10.2 megapixelresolution images captured by the DX-format CCD image sensor.
