INTRODUCTIONMy D2. I've ever owned. I've made over 2. January 2. 00. 7. Boring lab tests. D2. 00 gives me more great images with. My D7. 0 and D4. 0 can. I have to twiddle the adjustments.
COLORMy D2. 00's colors. My D2. 00 has much. It sees. color the way I do, and doesn't get too blue in shade. I used. to run all my other digital cameras at WB Auto - 3 and use a glass 8. A. (A2) warming filter all the time. My D2. 00 gives me the results I want. Auto WB (+/- 0) and no glass.
I love this! Auto WB works. DSLR I've used. I can shoot in shade, daylight. My other digital cameras are always.
Auto WB. I. have to twiddle WB manually on those cameras. My D2. 00's Auto WB actually. I can concentrate on the image.
AWB under tungsten still looks. Manual tungsten. settings look too orange, just as they do on other cameras.
On my D2. 00 I use the manual white card or Kelvin adjustments (try 2,5. K) to get great natural results under home interior tungsten lighting. EXPOSUREExposure is.
D2. 00 than anything else I've ever used. I spend much. less time getting to the correct exposure in difficult situations. The D2. 00 refuses to blow out my reds, which are a problem on most digital. BATTERY LIFE The D2. LCD. is big, bright, sharp, clear and colorful.
It also uses a lot of electricity. I love looking at. Therefore. battery life is only a few hundred shots on a charge.
Nikon's ads claim. Baloney. It's a lot worse than my D7. I bought a spare.
I'd. rather have the great screen and bring a spare battery. They charge faster than Nikon claims, too, in only 1.
If I just shoot. and don't use the LCD I can get over 1,0. Everyone. uses the LCD, and when I do I can get as few as 2. If those are time exposures I'll get even fewer. Your battery. life has little to do with the actual number of shots. It has everything. LCD. to check your work, how long the shutter is open, how much data is.
This twiddling is the creative process. Even with. the LCD off you'll suck the battery dry quickly with long. My D2. 00 sucks one entire battery dry in a single 8. My D7. 0 never ran the battery down, no matter how much I used its. LCD. I don't mind. D2. 00's battery life.
It's a lot better than the primitive but state. D1. H I bought less then. The short battery life suggests the D2.
D2. X, but. a smaller battery with the same capacity of the D7. I'd rather have a smaller battery and smaller camera than the huge. D2. X. Nikon seems deceptive. They didn't specify the test conditions in. I made my purchase. Only after I bought my D2. I able to read these test conditions in the manual.
They're a travesty of. Those conditions are only for a 1/2. Basic medium- resolution JPG file and not using the. LCD except for 5 seconds after each 6 shots.
I often look at the LCD. Nikon also specifies that you'll only get 3.
LCD at all! I love my D2. Nikon to. get us free spare batteries. Actually, to get 1,8. I'd need. about three spares since I average about 4.
I. go easy looking at the LCD. I don't mind the actual battery. Nikon advertised a deceptive figure. HOW DID I. GET MINE BACK IN DECEMBER 2. Simple: I ordered. November 1st, 2. 00. I paid full price.
I suggested you. all do the same right here on this page on November 1st as well. Just. like any hot new digital camera, they are so popular at first that. Nikon's not slow - they just have.
Your store can't. Nikon to get the cameras to them. No one could buy the previous D1. It was on. waiting lists and backorder for about a year. If you're considering. D2. 00 I'd suggest you order one right now, since if you don't like. I do. Also when. yours shows up probably could resell it to some who can't wait, at.
Just like when the D1. D7. 0 came. out, it will be a while before you can just walk into a store and buy. The lists are filling up and waiting times are going to get worse. I'm glad I ordered mine the day it came out.

January 2. 00. 6. WHO PAYS FOR. ALL THIS? I do. Nikon. doesn't give me anything.
I went out and ordered my own with my own. I say I like. it because I like it, not because I get paid anything to say it.
I. don't care if you get a D2. Canon 5. D or. a Zenit or. I'm just a guy who loves to take. DIGITAL KEEPS GETTING BETTER As. I keep telling everyone, digital is so new that everything gets much. Nikon or Canon introduce a new digital model.
That's why with Nikon's and Canon's. I just order the new gear as it comes out. BACK TO THE D2. 00 The. D2. 00 is Nikon's latest DSLR. It's a semi- pro camera positioned. D7. 0s and the. full- time professional.
D2. X. It has absolutely nothing to do with. D1. 00. The D2. 00 is similar in size to the D7. It's very similar in size and weight to the F1.
D2. X and adds a built- in flash. What. strikes me as so pleasant is that last year I bought my D7. The D7. 0 is a nice plastic. I love it. A year and a half later for only about. D2. 00, which in addition to being almost twice.
D2. 00 is a solid professional. I. expect that this will be the most popular camera used by professional. In my opinion it obsoletes the D2. X, since. it does 9.
D2. X does without the. I've. never even wanted a D2. X; it's too darn heavy. Nikon. D2. 00 with LCD cover removed. WHY. DID I UPGRADE IF.
I LOVE MY D7. 0 SO MUCH? People rightfully. I bought a D2. 00 if I love my D7. I. love my D7. 0 and ordered my D2. Adorama here the. How's that for a camera recommendation?
The. sooner you get on the list, the sooner you'll get your D2. I use. my cameras so much and get so much out of them that the dollar cost. Even small improvements in ease of use are worth money. I'm upgrading because I can, and I'm one of the few people.

My D2. 00 just makes it faster and easier for. For. my uses the D2. I want the best quality without regard to. The D2. X is way too big and has no flash at all. For most normal people (not full- time professional photographers) the D7.
D7. 0s and D5. 0 are. I find important. The. resolution difference isn't important. What is important is that the. D2. 00 offers numerous little improvements in convenience, speed and.
For. instance, the Three Kings, which serious photographers reset almost. QUAL, WB and ISO, now have dedicated new buttons on. D7. 0s. New from. D7. 0 is that the ISO shows all the time in the finder. Regardless. of how much memory I have I still turn the resolution down for junk shots. I shoot so much that all the.
JPG FINE. Nikon. D2. Three Kings (QUAL, WB, ISO) on the left.
Having. used both pro and amateur cameras for many decades, the. D2. 00 dispatches its duties. I appreciate compared to the D7.
It just feels better. These finesse issues never come across on paper, but are obvious when. The D7. 0s is. lighter, but less tough.
I'm banking that the added convenience and speed. D2. 00 will more than make up for the extra weight. I use. my Casio EX- Z7. D7. 0. If you follow my links to my. D2. 00 pages you'll also see my page comparing the D2. D7. 0s and other Nikons later on. SHOULD. YOU UPGRADE?
The. quality of your photos will be the same from the Nikon D2. DSLR. It's you, not the camera, who makes the pictures. I have a page here about. If you're dissatisfied with your photos then your money is better. I've seen 3 x 4 foot prints made from. D5. 0 and they look great. If you can't get sharp results with what.
