Nikon D2Xs review

 

Nikon D2Xs

Top-notch image quality; professional body; very low noise even at high ISOs.

Expensive; large and heavy; no full-frame sensor.

Nikon's flagship dSLR ranks among the best 35mm-format cameras currently made, but some pros may take umbrage with its less-than-full-frame sensor.

Nikon D2x and D2xs Review by Thom Hogan

 

I've added D2xs-specific comments in red. The D2xs is enough like the D2x that the bulk of the review is still valid. I haven't bothered to replace "D2x" with "D2x and D2xs" in the original portions of the review, but you can safely do so as you read.

Was the wait worth it?

Potentially long reach for small hands. This is a big camera, and shooters with small hands won't find all the controls quite where they want them ; Buffer could be bigger. Yes, you heard me right. Because some will be tempted to use the D2x instead of...
