The Nikon D2Xs shares many performance and design innovations with the D2X. It also offers Nikon's acclaimed DX-format CMOS image sensor capturing 12.4 million effective pixels per image, producing 4,288 x 2,848-pixel images with the high resolution and sharp detail needed for demanding professional assignments. The D2Xs, however, also introduces a range of revised features that make operation significantly more responsive – including refined viewfinder performance that makes for easier composition when shooting in Nikon's exclusive High-Speed Crop mode, a new 2.5 inch LCD with a 170-degree wide viewing angle calibrated at the factory to ensure consistent color fidelity, significantly increased battery life and a wide range of firmware enhancements. Less
Engineered with pro-level features and performance, the 12.3 effective megapixels D300 combines high technologies with impressive features to offer serious photographers remarkable performance.

Big & heavy, but super-fast, sturdy, & great images

bymdifanis Nov 4, 2007
13 Helpfuls 14 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fantastic speed & accuracy; excellent image quality; large, bright viewfinder
Cons High-ISO images tend to have more noise than Canon; heavy
Recommended it? Yes

The D2Xs is my third D-SLR. I purchased my first D-SLR, a Fuji FinePix S2 Pro in January 2003, followed by a Nikon D70 (as a backup body) in 2005. I use my photography equipment for a combination of uses. I am a full-time real estate professional, so I depend on my D-SLR for architectural images. I... Read full review »

Top Level Digital SLR

bybinali Feb 7, 2008
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Hundreds of features built into one super tough camera.
Cons Heavy, Expensive, Big. Consider D200 if amateur like me.
Recommended it? Yes

As an amateur photographer I bought a D2X because D200 was not available at that time and my -47C Siberia tested D100 was barely satisfactory for my needs.

D2X is a special machine. It has so many features that you really need to sit down and study. Some of these features are for... Read full review »

It IS an AMAZING Camera!

bycolonialpara Jun 8, 2009
38 Helpfuls 39 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros A very flexible and versatile camera.  Well worth the price!
Cons Cost to purchase and weight with the battery pack attached.
Recommended it? Yes

The Nikon D300 is the second dSLR I've owned and I purchased it about eight months after its initial release in the North American market.  I bought it to replace my Nikon D200, while being a fine camera, did have some limitations that as time went on grew into annoyances and... Read full review »

Pros 12.3 megapixel<br>3" LCD monitor<br>51 point autofocus<br>6 frame...
Cons None that I can think of!
Recommended it? Yes

This is an amazing camera! This camera is best suited for a semi-pro photographer who may sell regularly on microstock sites as a hobby. I am not going to list the technical features here, that info is available from the Nikon website. What I will do is give you my honest assessment of a camera... Read full review »
