Nikon D2H review

 

Review Summary The D2H replaces Nikon's D1H, and almost everything about it has been updated--from the camera body itself to the autofocus system. I recently used the Nikon D2H on a few assignments for Sports Illustrated and was impressed in many ways...

Fast drive mode with large buffer; big 2.5-inch LCD with superfast image review; amazing battery life; solid build.

Expensive for only 4.1 megapixels; takes some tweaking to get high-quality images; steep learning curve for new users; file-naming system can cause overwrite problems.

For professional sports and action photographers invested in Nikon gear, this is the camera to have.

Nikon D2H Review

 

Nikon's D2H is the immediate successor to the D1H which was announced in February 2001 (along with the D1x) and reviewed by us in September of that year. The D1H built on the strengths of the D1 and added several new features including selectable color...

Good color balance, tuned towards reds (skin tones?) Wide tonal range, good dynamic range, smart auto tone selection Clean image processing, almost no 'digital' artifacts, a more film-like look As much resolution as we could expect from a four...

Slightly more noise at ISO 200 than the EOS-1D Noise levels similar to EOS-1D from ISO 400 to 1600, we had expected better Disappointing automatic white balance performance under artificial light Slower flash X-sync speed than competition (1/250 sec...

The Nikon D2H is one of a very few cameras which feels almost perfectly 'sorted'. By this I mean it's very difficult to use the camera and find faults, almost any faults, which will affect the camera's purpose in life, which is to be a very fast,...

Nikon D2H Review Round-Up

Nikon D2H Pro Review

 

First introduced in late 2003, the D2H represents a significant step forward in Nikon's Digital SLR line, which began with the D1, in 2001. With a modestly sized 4.1 megapixel sensor, fast 8 fps frame rate and large image buffer (40 continuous frames...

Outstanding ergonomics, professional quality build, and light weight, Outstanding battery performance, Excellent image quality, Nikon 3-D Color Matrix Metering, Instant on/off, Large image buffer: 8 fps (40 JPEG/25 RAW continuous shooting), 11-segment...

Lower resolution than competitive digital SLRs, 1.5x digital crop factor, Noise apparent in higher ISO images, AC adapter not included (required to lock mirror-up to clean sensor)

The Nikon D2H is an excellent DSLR with reasonable resolution and a broad range of professional features that will more than accommodate most photographers' needs. Like most cameras, the D2H is better for some kinds of photography than others. It...

Nikon D2H Review Test

 

The D2H was announced in July 2003. It was replaced by the updated and very similar D2Hs in February 2005. If you can get a bargain on the older D2H go for it. Don't worry about the less resolution compared to the D2X; I've seen lovely 13 x 19" prints...

The Nikon D2H A New Digital SLR For Action Photography

 

The Nikon D2H has replaced the Nikon D1H; it has also been targeted against the competition camera Canon EOS-1D. The Nikon D2H is capable of 8 fps which matches the Canon EOS-1D in terms of frames per second. There is no other camera in this league on...

The D2H is an all-new camera and not an upgrade from the D1H. We consider the D2H to be a statement on technology by Nikon to all professional photographers (with the main market being photojournalists)

The Nikon D2H Digital Camera

 

Nikon's latest entry into the digital race, the D2H, is very fast. It's an instant turn on, in feel and handling as well as shooting readiness

PS: I did not get to play with the Wi-Fi wireless transmitter so I cannot offer any insight. It is lightweight, attaches directly to the camera through the D2H's USB 2.0 port and has great potential
