Nikon D2X Review by Thom Hogan
Professional photographer Thom Hogan has published his review of the new 12 megapixel Nikon D2X digital SLR.
“I believe Nikon has opened a huge can of worms here. No photographer that I know of currently sees a user-advantage to white balance encryption, and that’s problematic on its face. Nikon still doesn’t quite understand that if you don’t fully design to customer needs and wants, the competing manufacturer that does will grow faster and sell more product. The pro market is even more unforgiving. A Canon 1DsMarkII has no similar flaw, fatal or annoying. Thus, there’s a friction present that keeps a pro from picking a D2x over a 1DsMarkII. Other traits have to overcome that friction. At this level of product, the only trait that has that potential is that the D2x is US$2500-3000 less in price than the 1DsMarkII. Both cameras take unbelievable pictures, both have pro-level performance and features, but one has a workflow flaw and costs less than the one that doesn’t have that flaw. How much is that flaw worth to you?”
