In the beginning, Nikon made 35mm cameras. They've shot film with an image size of 24 x 36mm since the 1940s.
All 35mm Nikons since 1946, both SLR, rangefinder and point-and-shoot, are full-frame, as are their lenses.
In 1999 Nikon brought forth DX digital cameras, which used smaller sensors.
In 2007, Nikon introduced the Nikon D3, the first Nikon digital camera to use an image sensor the same size as 35mm film.
Nikon cleverly dubbed this new digital format as FX, which is much less cumbersome and more precise than saying "full-frame."
In 2008, Nikon introduced their second FX camera, the D700.
Lens Compatibility
Z cameras only work well with Z lenses, or only with some AFS and AFP lenses with the clunky FTZ/2 adapters.
FX DSLRs take every lens. They work wonderfully with old film lenses, even manual focus if you care to bother.
FX cameras can crop their sensors to use DX lenses. This wastes much of the capability of the FX cameras, but it doesn't waste the DX lenses. (DX lenses have reduced image circles that only cover the smaller DX sensor.)
