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

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 »

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 »

Cons Nothing, really.
Recommended it? Yes

I think it´s not too much to say that this is a phenomenal camera. It´s price is around 700-800 euros - definitely a good buy for that amount of money. When first handling the DSLR you are impressed bu it´s "outer qualities" - Side-articulated LCD screen, 921k dot LCD... Read full review »
