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
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 »

Nikon Coolpix 5000 Nikon Ups the Ante in the Digital Camera Wars

byHoward_Creech Jan 13, 2002
154 Helpfuls 155 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros 5 Megapixel Images, Pro metering, NO SHUTTER LAG
Cons Nothing important
Recommended it? Yes

For the past ten years professional and serious amateur photographers have wondered what digital photography was going to be like when it grew up. The answer to that question is pretty complicated, but the new Nikon Coolpix 5000 might be part of the answer. Every now and again there is a quantum... Read full review »

The Nikon Coolpix 5000 - Enter the world of 5-megapixel bliss - Part 1

byjag2112 May 21, 2002
102 Helpfuls 103 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Incredible images. Numerous features. Good optics. Nikon name.
Cons Expensive. Only a 3x optical zoom. Some shutter lag.
Recommended it? Yes

A little over a year ago, the first 3 megapixel digital still cameras were becoming common-place - but at a price. At that time, the general consensus was that 3 megapixels would be more than enough for everyone's use.

That was then. This is now.

As more and more images are... Read full review »
