5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic: Great speed, excellent color, low noise and awesome focus, March 29, 2007

Most of my friends suggest that I buy a camera by Canon. It would be only 1/3 the price, maybe half the price. But they spend most of the time correcting the RAW files in Aperture or Lightroom and I have always perfect pictures. No corrections, no electronic image retouche. Just great pictures!

And yes, it's worth the price. You save countless hours and tons of GB harddisc space. Don't accept a second best solution. If you can afford a Nikon D2HS SLR go for it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Speed, June 11, 2006

This review is from: NIKON D2HS SLR 4.1 Megapixel Digital Camera - BODY ONLY (Refurbished by Nikon U.S.A.) (Electronics)

I just thought I'd point out that this is a sports camera with an amazing buffer + continuous shooting mode. Here are the specs:

* Continuous High [CH] - 8 fps
* Continuous Low [CL] -1 to 7 fps (programmable)
* Buffer size 50 JPEG frames, 40 NEF (RAW) frames *

THIS is the only reason to buy this camera over the D1X or D70. But if you're looking for a great studio camera, the D1X won't let you down, and if you're just getting into DSLR's, the D50/ D70 are great bodies to get started on.

Thanks for reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent color, low noise, speed and focus, December 25, 2005

This review is from: NIKON D2HS SLR 4.1 Megapixel Digital Camera - BODY ONLY (Refurbished by Nikon U.S.A.) (Electronics)

Added to D2X, D70 and Fuji S3 collection. Image quality is much better than the 4.1 MP suggests. Equal to or better than D70 (better at iso 400 and above than D70), Slightly less resolution than S3 and about same noise up to 800, Fuji pulls ahead at 1600 but you have to look at a 100% crop to see it. Much less noise than D2X.

Speed in continuous shooting, saving files and focus is much faster than S3 - no contest. Focus is much faster than D70.

D2X advantage is solely a result of the 12MP sensor - higher resolution, however, it is visible only very slightly in 8X10 print.

Battery life is stellar, like D70 and D2X - all day or two shooting.
