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.

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

bymdifanis Nov 4, 2007

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.

Top Level Digital SLR

What a Camera!

4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Great camera in a moderately priced package.
Cons No video, which is common in the newer dSLRs.
Recommended it? Yes

Overall, this a great camera. If you're into cameras I'd go with this one. The ISO performace is pretty strong as you can go up to 1,600 without too much graniness. Read full review »
