Rob Galbraith Reports On Nikon D2H Image Quality
Rob Galbraith has published a First Look report at the image quality from a production version of the Nikon D2H digital SLR. There are a number of full resolution images for you to look at, as well as Rob’s professional opinion to read.
“A lot of noise has been made about the noise from the D2H. Much of the hand-wringing has been prompted by the posting of camera store and trade show happy snaps, which have really demonstrated only that the D2H will faithfully record certain scenes in all their poorly-shot glory. Add that to what’s discussed in the point a few paragraphs ahead, and what we’ve seen in photos captured in venues with which we’re familiar, and we’re left thinking that D2H noise is a wash. While ISO 200 photos look pretty clean, thanks to Nikon’s ballyhooed new noise suppression technologies, higher ISO photos shot in available darkness can get noisy. Which makes it not unlike the D1H, the camera it replaces, and the Canon EOS-1D, its most direct competitor.”
