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.

The new Nikon D70s and Nikkor AF-S DX f/3.5-f4.5/18-70mm G IF-ED Zoom

byHoward_Creech Jul 3, 2005
142 Helpfuls 143 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Very fast, solid build quality, excellent image quality, and very good battery life
Cons Images slightly soft at default settings and No USB 2.0
Recommended it? Yes

Canon's EOS D350/Digital Rebel XT was a revolutionary re-design of the original Rebel, but Nikon's new D70s is more an evolutionary update of the dLSR that POPULAR PHOTOGRAPHY magazine chose as it's CAMERA OF THE YEAR in 2004. At first glance the D70s appears identical to its predecessor, but... Read full review »

The Nikon D70s put a dent in my wallet... and my hardwood floor!

Pros Great quality.
Cons I'm broke.
Recommended it? Yes

After dropping my Nikon F65 35mm SLR down a scree slope, and then more recently submerging it in the Pacific Ocean, I thought it might not be a bad idea to get a new and improved camera – a digital SLR. At the same time, I was hesitant to go and spend over a thousand dollars on something that I... Read full review »

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 »
