Holy shit.

lol... it doesn't matter how hard you try to be on the bleeding edge of technology... whatever you buy will be outdated before you take it out of the box

and that's a hefty pricetag

that's not the "holy shit" part.
I have a D2X and it does that.
there are 2 things that it does that I want.
1) HSC mode mask. I always mess up framing to the bottom or the top of HSC cause of the lack of masking.
2) b/w mode

other than that, the better battery life would be nice and the larger LCD would be cool.

that doesn't sound new, but i like the b&w function, longer battery life and the new options in gigh speed crop...that doesn't mean i'm buying it though..

I also bought my D2X about a month or 2 ago

yes aaron but you also new another version was coming out...

12.4 million effective pixels


• Auto ISO (Up to ISO 800, custom max ISO and min shutter speed *)
• ISO 100 - 800
• 1/3, 1/2 or 1.0 EV steps
• HI-0.3 (ISO 1000) *
• HI-0.5 (ISO 1100) *
• HI-0.7 (ISO 1250) *
• HI-1 (ISO 1600)
• HI-2 (ISO 3200)

yummy

and think of how wonderful my wedding photos will look!!!

HAHAHAHA

i almost spent $5000 last night...but not on that...i am considering buying another camera..but only aaron knows what it is...if i get it..yes i will be using that one at your wedding in addition to my d2X

BTW Carina, you have a PM.

you're looking at the D200, aren't you :P

almost $5000...def not a d200...

oh..i'm on text so i can't reply..but i will try and deposit it tonight!

I heard rumors of this mostly after getting my camera. I just hope there is a firmware update.

DAMN!!!

Max. No. of shots: 60; Accelerated continuous shooting
(8fps) at max. 38 shots when taking long exposures
with noise reduction ON (approx. same rate when OFF)

it's the HSC that I want though.
I never use a lot of the buffer.

if the hi-iso noise was reduced like they did between the D2H and D2hs, i'll be pissy then

great news carina...

Firmware upgrade for Nikon D2X in the works
Friday, June 2, 2006 ~ by Rob Galbraith

Nikon is developing a firmware update for the D2X that will bring a number of the D2Xs' refinements to the earlier camera, says a story on Japanese-language web site RBB Today. The article notes that the following features will be rolled into the new firmware:
* In-camera trimming function
* Autofocus algorithm improvements
* Metering of the capture area only Hi-Speed Crop mode
* Adjustable delay for Focus Tracking with Lock-on
* Additional ISO increments between 800 and HI-1 (ISO 1600)
* Maximum ISO and minimum shutter speed options added to Auto ISO feature
* Black and white mode

* Ability to use the sensor cleaning mode when the camera is powered by the battery exclusively
* Files will be verifiable with Nikon's upcoming Image Authentication Software

RBB Today say the downloadable update will be released in the fourth quarter of 2006.

does it make pizza?

that's the canon camera.
it's also got a $$ button.

With Cameras like this one, how is Nikon ever going to stay in buisiness?

Drug dealing, me thinks.
