The D2x is really nice but IQ-wise the D2x sensor is not as good as the D90 or D7000's. The D2x's sensor is like the sensor on the D80.

Sounds like a good deal. Just check the camera over thoroughly to make certain everything functions correctly. I'd wait, though, to see what the D400/600 is like. But whatever.

I wouldn't bother having it fixed. I think you're on the right track by looking at another body. D200's are a steal these days. I bought mine on eBay about 1.5 years ago for $450. It is the...

I agree; DX image quality is already good enough.

See this is how it could go: Step 1: Nikon ceases updating its 35mm film SLRs. Step 2: Nikon then ceases updating its DX DSLRs. Step 3: Nikon eventually ceases updating its FX DSLRs as...

er, that should be "providing" not "proving"

Perhaps there won't be any more mid-range or pro-level DX bodies. After all, do you think Nikon will release a successor to the F100 35mm film camera? How about a pro-grade Nikon F7 35mm film...

I'm with that guy two posts up ... D2h has xclnt autofocus. Get a OOF photo with the D2h and it's not the camera's fault.

I think there's a market for it ... just look at the popularity of the Fuji X100 and X-Pro 1. Those things are flying off the shelves. I think if you want a camera similar to the FM today, the...

The F3 had a square-ish grip, too, with the MD-4 drive. http://www.mir.com.my/rb/photography/hardwares/classics/nikonf3ver2/motordrive/F3HPMD4kAdoramaA.JPG

D2x is the better camera since it has a proper IR-cut filter. Both are going to need new shutters soon.

The little finger nub on this Canon AE-1 (on left on photo) was comfortable enough of a grip for me back in the day. The D7000's grip is way...

This site: http://focustestchart.com/chart.html Has a focus test chart you can download and print out. Might be useful.

My D200 has a "wide" or "narrow" af sensor option ... Is your D90 set to "wide" sensors by chance? Check the manual.

Practice will help. Using AF takes a bit of skill. I dislike letting the camera pick the focus point -- it's been my experience that it *often* selects a focus point other than where I'd like it...

I don't trust the "twist-the-mirrorbox-stop" thingy as a "fix." Do all lenses act this way or just the tamron? I've had backfocus before, on my D2h. I sent the body in to Nikon and they fixed...

Everything I've read about the Nikon 1 is that its AF system is as fast or very nearly as fast as the AF on Nikon's DSLR. Even tracking is fast on the Nikon 1. AF tracking only works with the...

I owned the push-pull for about 8 years and I've owned the current version for 4 years. I, too, have read that AF speed is faster on the current model, but I cannot tell the difference. I am not...

Personally i've wanted to go from DX to FX ever since the D3 came out. Only problem is that I do not need FX! Even for my full-time pro photo job. Shallower DOF on FX? Don't need that; DX...

Why do you need to shoot high ISO? Can you use a tripod instead? How are your photos being used? If you're just making photos for the web with pictures that are the typical web size of...
