D2X - Who's in?

Go to last post
I feel exactly the same way Peter. If it wern't for the fact that the D2H is a fabulous camera, I would have to bite the bullet and lose $$$ to have a camera capable of excellent results. Oh yes, I would love to have the D2X, for the extra features it has, but I'm very pleased to know my D2H is more than everything I need in a camera now. Besides, lol... I won't even broach the subject of possible flaws with the D2X that the D2H doesn't suffer from. I believe the D2X will be most everything hoped for...but so is the D2H.

I'll take a 50% hit on selling the D2H and I can't see letting go for $2000.00 CDN. No, this camera I'll keep. Perhaps one day it will be my worthy backup. There is also the possibility that a D2H will remain my tool of choice...I am that happy with it.

Today there was a huge teachers protest march of some 50 000 people
here in Durban South Africa and I had left the D2H at home -- so I
had to use the office D70. Well, I guess the quality of the shots
was fine, but I missed that speed like you can't believe. People
everywhere, swaying and moving around, and that buffer was filling
up faster than I could shoot, I missed a few good ones I think and
I realised just how awesome that camera really is.

Besides, image quality is so good IMHO, I see no need to change.

And finally, don't let anyone try and tell me that digital is
cheaper than film. I've gone from an S2 to a D100 to the D2H. I
lost big money on the S2 (over 50 percent) a bit on the D100 and
then there is the cost of cards, card readers, digital wallets,
extra batteries, hard disks, and so on.

I'm actually a bit cash deficient on all this stuff and I need to
recoup this with sales.

Ifr one is an early adopter, one pays a premium price, and with
prices dropping quite dramatically and a constant market driven
demand for yet another camera, it's easy to loose big money on gear.

I'll buy a 12-24 Nikon instead and enjoy the D2H. After all its not
obsolete, its the sister of the D2X, and, I just love it.

I'm curious based on the last 24 hours:

1. Will you buy a D2X?
2. What will you be upgrading from?
3. Do you plan on keeping your original camera?

I'll keep my 2 D100's for now and my F100, and wait for D100 replacement. Who knows, if history is any guide it may even turn out to be 13 megapixels or so and a really nice surprise would be full frame D100 replacement (but I don't seriously expect this).
 
I am a little concerned that the max sync speed is 250th of a second. I need more.

No, because I have a D100, & a Kodak 14/n & a Kodak SLR/n (both 14mp)
The D100 for low light, the Kodaks for High quality large prints.

However, I will be in the market for a greater than 14mp Nikon mount camera

whenever that is introduced by either Kodak or Nikon, but it needs to be Full Frame.

In my line of work (primarily studio photos of products) I need maximum resolution,

yet I can't justify a $20,000 dollar medium format back with my volume of business.

I am happy for the people who can buy this camera. It must be woooonderful to be able to buy something like this and still have other cameras as backups. I am amazed at all the doctors and lawyers that are on this forum that can get these. I think I saw this camera may cost over 5000???

Hope you all enjoy the camera. I am looking forward to looking at the pictures when the camera comes out.

I'm definitely gettting one - the only question is wether to jump on the first bandwagon or wait for the "bug fix" version.

I'm going to keep My SLR/n for full frame and my d70 for "walk around". Probably unload SLR14/n, but haven't made up mind firm.
