Overview — Nikon D2X

The Nikon D2X is a professional-grade DSLR built around a 12MP APS-C sensor and powered by Nikon custom ASICs image processing. Capable of resolving images at 4288x2848 pixels, it delivers files suited to demanding commercial and editorial work. The camera's autofocus system uses an 11-area Multi-CAM2000 arrangement with 9 cross-type sensors, providing broad frame coverage and reliable subject acquisition through phase detection.

Burst shooting reaches up to 5 frames per second, making it a capable tool for fast-moving subjects. The optical pentaprism viewfinder offers 100% frame coverage, giving shooters an accurate, full representation of the scene before capture. The body itself is constructed from magnesium alloy and carries weather sealing, adding resilience in challenging outdoor conditions.

A 2.5-inch LCD with 235,000-dot resolution handles image review and menu navigation. Storage relies on CompactFlash media, and the camera accepts an EN-EL4 Li-ion battery. At 1,070g, it sits firmly in the professional body weight class.

ISO sensitivity runs from 100 to 800 natively. Color profile options include Standard and Neutral. There is no video capability, no in-body image stabilization, and no wireless connectivity — this is a focused, stills-only professional tool from Nikon's lineup.
