D2X

Anyone use this camera? I stepped up to this from a D50. From the bottom all the way to the top. It had less than 8k shutter clicks, so like new. I do love the expanded menu and the challenge to learn new things. Just wondering if there are others with this camera as their primary body...

Not here, but I think it's an ok camera.

Of course Nikon really started to match Canon as far as high ISO noise is concerned in the D3/D700/D300 era. Now Nikon are perhaps a bit better than Canon with noise (at least in the darks if you push it).

The D2x is old era Nikon. So you'll get nice low ISO shots and the body is a "pro" body so the comfort will be there, just don't expect it to match the modern cameras.

Still if you got it cheap, no need for it not to take good photos for you.

I used it, and upgraded to the D3 because of the full frame sensor and better low light performance.. But, as Adrian says, at low iSO it is fine, and the colors are very good. You may need extra work in PP tp deal with noise, but you'll be satisfied, unless you work in very low light. :cheers:
