Nikon D2x Camera

by Julieanne on December 8, 2005

The Nikon D2X is an upmarket camera for those who earn a living taking photos, or for real enthusiasts. From the reviews, it sounds like an excellent camera. Be careful about buying it from someone who advertises it for less than $4999 because that’s the going price. The Nexus D2 Digital SLR Housing is used for the Nikon D2x Scuba Diving Camera.

Ken Knezick from Island Dreams Travel gives an excellent review of the
Island Nikon D2X Scuba Diving Camera

“Depending upon one’s chosen perspective, the D2x is either ridiculously expensive or immensely functional, probably both at once. Weighting in with 12 mega pixels of resolution and a host of updated features, the D2x is, for the digital moment, Nikon’s top of the line camera. After a good deal of investigation, procrastination, and soul searching, the D2x is what finally got me back into a single lens reflex for my underwater photography. This report is the result of my first outing with the D2x, safely ensconced in a Nexus submersible housing. Ten days of diving at stellar Wakatobi Resort in Sulawesi, Indonesia gave me ample opportunity to put this system to the test as a serious tool for underwater photography.

Ken also has some beautiful shots that he’s taken with the Nidon D2X. He uses the Nexus D2 Digital SLR Housing for the Nikon D2x Scuba Diving camera.

Ken Rockwell has a comprehensive review and lists the specifications of the Nikon D2X. He doesn’t say anything about using the camera for Scuba Diving. Ken Rockwell says:

“The D2X is for full time professional photographers who need a solid, responsive camera to beat on all day and night. You pay a severe premium in price and weight if all you want are more megapixels than a D70. What makes the D2X special is its fantastic high speed, instant response, brutally fast autofocus, superb usability and construction so solid you can use it for self-defense. Megapixels alone isn’t that big a deal; in fact, I’ve seen great 13 x 19″ prints made from the 4MP D2H and you can get more pixels than that with the 6MP D70. “
