Superb even today

I bought a couple of these cameras used off ebay for a snip. Well used but still take great images if you use a little thought. I use them mainly for reportage, street and people shots. The build quality is super and I love the speed that the camera is able to function. Battery life is great and I always get the pictures I want. As a photojournalist the camera gives me what I need, responsiveness, reliability and great color.

Very good earlier digital SLR

I moved up to a D3 to get higher resolution. I kept it as a backup and then gave it to an old Nikon buddy (We've both owned Photomic ftns and F3s. this was his first digital SLR. He loves it and still uses it

Excellent

Quick response. Excellent metering. It's all I need in a camera. The exposure always balances the highs and lows and determines the best overall image.

The new D2Hs(TM) professional digital SLR camera incorporates several new enhancements & features. Designed for photojournalists & sports/action photographers, D2Hs integrates the best technologies from its predecessors with an array of exclusive new innovations that deliver the speed, response & handling required for action photography.

The range of new features & enhancements in the D2Hs are based on extensive research & feedback from professional photographers around the world. An all-new image processing engine in the camera produces images with higher quality, finer gradations & lower noise, while a newly refined exposure metering system improves on Nikon's hallmark 3D Color Matrix technology.

The D2Hs Auto White Balance & auto focusing systems have been fine tuned to deliver precise, accurate results & an enhanced buffer now offers continuous shooting at 8 frames per second for up to 50 consecutive shots (JPEG, FINE).

Photographers will appreciate the seamless design, transition and workflow between the D2x and the new D2Hs, allowing them to quickly switch between the two best-of-breed camera bodies, as dictated by the situation they need to photograph.
In addition to Nikon's exclusive 4.1 megapixel Dx format JFET image sensor LBCAST (Lateral Buried Charge Accumulator and Sensing Transistor array), the D2Hs features the following new technologies and enhancements:

• Advanced new image processing engine produces high quality images
• High-speed continuous shooting at 8 fps for up to 50 consecutive shots
• 3D-Color Matrix Metering II
• Precise white balance
• Faster, higher precision 11-area AF system
• High-speed wireless data transfer and camera control
• sYCC color space support
• GPS connectivity expands applications
• High-resolution 2.5" LCD

The D2Hs comes with PictureProject, an easy-to-use software application for managing, editing and sharing image files.

The D2Hs is also compatible with Nikon's optional Nikon Capture 4 (Ver.4.2.1) software package that delivers a unique, powerful and expandable environment for full control over RAW(NEF) files.

Nikon Capture 4's Remote Camera Control function can control most shooting settings and trigger the camera's shutter release remotely, either connected via the USB 2.0 Hi-Speed interface, or using the optional Wireless Transmitter WT-2/2A. (PTP/IP wireless camera control requires Windows xP or Mac OS x.)

As part of Nikon's Total Imaging System, the D2Hs is compatible with Nikon's growing family of digital-exclusive Dx Nikkor lenses as well as the lineup of high-quality Nikkor AF lenses.

When used with the SB-800 or SB-600 Speedlights, the D2Hs maximizes the potential of Nikon's Creative Lighting System with high precision flash performance, including i-TTL flash control and support for Nikon's Advanced Wireless Lighting system.
