Designed as a truly versatile workhorse camera for many professional disciplines, the D2X blends for the first time the high levels of resolution commercial clients demand with superb image quality, color consistency and class-leading speed. The D2X delivers high image quality using brand new innovations that produce ultra sharp images with very fine gradations and smooth color transitions across the color range -- all while maintaining impeccable color accuracy, even when shooting under rapidly changing light. High resolution is achieved by an all-new 12.4 million pixel DX Format CMOS image sensor and a new image processing engine that works seamlessly with optimized systems throughout the camera. Even with this tremendous resolution, the D2X can comfortably shoot full resolution images at 5 frames per second (up to 21 consecutive JPEGS and 15 NEFs).

Other Features
Professionals need their cameras to be as fast as they are. Therefore, similar to the blazing fast D2H, the D2X adopts a holistic approach to speed. The camera is ready to shoot the instant it is turned on and has an almost imperceptible 37ms shutter lag time, an astounding achievement at this resolution level. Using a new high-speed 4-channel output method, and improved speed of transferring image data from the image sensor to a memory card, the D2X is capable of shooting 5 frames per second at full 12.4 megapixel resolution for up to 21 JPEGs or 15 NEFs. The camera's unique High Speed Cropped Image mode allows photographers to achieve an even higher continuous shooting rate of 8 frames per second by using a dual area sensor that records only 6.8 million pixels in the center of the sensor. While photographers are satisfied with 5 frames per second for most applications, this new mode gives them the duality of having the option to shoot at faster framing rates for specific situations, within one camera body.

Cons: Not FX size sensor, but not really a problem with nominal 12 meg.

Reviews: It was time to upgrade from D1X which had served me well. By shear luck I had purchased 1.4 F28 and several high quality zoom lens for the DX format. F3 sieries was the logical candidate, but prices were out the window. The D2X example came with manual, all cables, battery, and...

Outstanding low ISO camera

Reviewed by: DBinkard
Pros: Outstanding image quality at low ISOs; fast, accurate autofocus; full feature set; long battery life; strong build quality
Cons: High ISO image quality lacking; not a light camera; lacking firmware features of newer Nikons

Reviews: At low ISOs, this is an outstanding camera. Fully featured and built like a tank. Fast, accurate autofocus with screwdrive and AF-S lenses. Its only real weakness is declining image quality as ISO values go past 400.
