I was looking for a pro style camera to see if I like the weight and format so I took a chance on a gently used D2x and was not disappointed. It had very good image quality and color rendition and set the stage for my move up to the 24MP d3x which I still own. Passed the D2x on to my son who still uses it and never looked back. Good value in older technology for the camera curious hobbyist.

It would have been nice if it had been CLEARLY stated that there was no battery included. I’ve purchased other cameras that state “BODY ONLY” that have included the battery. Even further I’ve purchased cameras that state “NO BATTERY INCLUDED”. This is pertinent information that should’ve been stated. Plus you included a battery charger that isn’t even for this type of battery. Now I have to purchase a battery and charger for a camera that may not even work.....I guess I should’ve known better

This camera works very nice and has already been getting me some good business. The shutter buttons are a little bit softer than my previous D40 but that is to be expected. The noise levels are tolerable at the mid to high ISOs but even then, they can be easily fixed in Lightroom 3. Camera is fairly heavy with added accessories but you get used to holding it after a while. Shutter speeds are fast and responsive and the controls are very easily in reach. I like having to command dials (1 in front and 1 in back - for both shutter releases) because everything is right in my reach: I barely have to look at the camera for info --- just look through the viewfinder. I do recommend this camera but only until one can afford a D3X. In a few years they will be just as affordable as this D2X is right now. From what I hear the added megapixels obviously help and it works great at higher ISOs. But, all in all, the D2x is an awesome camera to use today in spite of being about 6 years old.Read full review
The D2x is now two generations removed from Nikon's latest, the D4, however that doesn't mean it isn't a great camera. The biggest limitation of the camera is the DX sensor otherwise you won't be disappointed with this rugged professional body. Some will complain the camera is too large, personally I prefer the larger cameras as they feel better in my hand. Granted it probably isn't the best choice for a vacation camera but other than that, I just enjoy working with it. This cameral makes a great backup and has good battery life with the En-El4 (it does not require the EN EL4a battery). The small LCD screen on the D2x won't wow you compared to today's cameras but limit your chimping and just shoot it!
Excellent camera and is a still good for use in 2014. The one lacking feature is the small viewfinder. Hard to check quality of images on small viewfinder. Built like a tank, in this case, an older tank. Love the crop feature that increases the shutter speed to 8FPS. Good for use with older Nikkor AF lenses that will not work on the current 3000 and 5000 series cameras. ISO perfomance is somewhat limited by today's standards. Even though it's heavy, it feels comfortable in your hand even with a large tele hanging off it. Image size is sufficient for most applications. Less tech but let's you focus on the important stuff.
