Compared to...

The table below compares features and specifications of the D2Hs to the nearest competition, Canon's EOS-1D Mark II. Note that this is not a comprehensive specifications list but rather a selection of important specifications and major differences. There will be other advantages such as startup times, noise leves, performance but until we can independently test these (review the camera) they are not indicated in this table.
