Comments about Nikon Nikon D2X Digital SLR Camera Body, 12.84MP CMOS Sensor, USA Warranty.:

I purchased this camera used and was skeptical as to the condition it would be in. When I received the camera, the only thing that looked used was the box. I have been using a D200 for the past couple of years and I am very pleased with it, but the image quality of the D2X far surpasses that of the D200.

I tested the D2x out at a concert using an 70-200 F2.8 lens. I was hand holding the lens and using both horizontal and vertical shutter releases. The exposure meter was accurate, focusing dead-on, colors very vibrant, and the noise non-existing in the shadow areas.

I have shot artistic, portraits, and sports images with this camera and have been highly pleased with the results it has produced. If you have an opportunity (and the cash) to purchase the D2X, you will not be disappointed.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D2X Digital SLR Camera Body, 12.84MP CMOS Sensor, USA Warranty.:

I've used this camera in the studio and I was really impressed with the over all quality. Not only was I impressed, but more importantly, so was my client. The focusing was so fast and accurate that during the viewing of the files we could see my clients contact lenses from the head and shoulders poses we took in the studio. I have not used it for a wedding as of yet, but I will this weekend. I am looking forward to putting her (D2X) through the test. I'm sure she'll do just fine. After all. . . . it's a NIKON!!!

Comments about Nikon Nikon D2X Digital SLR Camera Body, 12.84MP CMOS Sensor, USA Warranty.:

This camera is a Dream. I have used it to shoot Senior Portraits & Weddings with great success. This camera does what is supposed to do, make your job as a Photographer easier. This allows for me to be creative & not worry about settings. Set the camera once & let your creative juices flow. The focus is fast & dead on accurate. The 11 focus areas give you the focus where you need it. The colors are vibrant and flesh tones are very good. (Did a camera shootout for Pro level cameras at Shoot Smarter University & the D2X scored in the top five for flesh tones). The 12 megapixel allows for huge enlargements. I have made large prints that just looked WOW!! When used with on camera flash, the results are great. No washed out faces. In the studio it works great. From Portraiture to Macro it performs great. This is the best Camera I have ever had. I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I use the camera for portraits and travel photography. With the ablity to pre-set the camera for various set ups it is easy to go from one lighting or shooting situation quickly. The SB-800 flash system is great and makes flsah photography easy.

Nikon D2X is the most creatively based professional camera on the market. With the Color modes you can create stunning film like images that sing when combined with it's clean processing engine. The ability to create double exposures and overlays puts the fun and excitment at the moment of capture.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D2X Digital SLR Camera Body, 12.84MP CMOS Sensor, USA Warranty.:

I was involved in an auto accident with airbags deployed. The D2x flew around the auto hitting everything in site. The body and lens had absolutely no marks. However, there was a rattle on the inside of the D2x. Sent to Nikon and they repaired and checked all functions. On return, the D2x and lens worked flawlessly. The color accuracy is fantastic. The resolution is phenomenal. The D2x has improved my photos significantly over my old D100. If you can find a new or used D2x, get it. The firmware upgrade from Nikon makes it practcally identical to the D2Xs.

Great camera for sports

Comments about Nikon Nikon D2X Digital SLR Camera Body, 12.84MP CMOS Sensor, USA Warranty.:

Low light use is not optimal, but not bad. This is really the only place where I could ask for improvement in this camera. I personally like the 1.5 crop as it maximizes telephotos for sports and uses the sweet spot of the lens for less vignetting.

Comments about Nikon Nikon D2X Digital SLR Camera Body, 12.84MP CMOS Sensor, USA Warranty.:

The focus speed in low light (reception of weddings)is amazing, I don't have to think about it, just shoot. Flash Sync with multiple flash is at times very critical. Also with the flash system, make a pre-flash so the camera knows the exposure with flash then all the photos you take are exposed with no annoying additional preflash that causes people to blink. Battery has long life, I can go thru an entire 9 hour wedding and not change batteries

The best digital camera we have ever used. It has virtually "changed our lives" with its great features and high image quality.Although we have used the D-200 also and like that camera too, this one is the ultimate. We would like to buy a couple more of them (we are a busy studio)!
