Nikon D2Xs Digital SLR Camera Preview

From Michael Carr
The Nikon D2Xs digital SLR camera is easily one of the most anticipated camera releases of the year. Featuring a 12.4-megapixel image sensor, this upgrade of Nikon's most popular professional SLR adds a major boost to battery life and an optional wi-fi transmitter. Here is a preview of the Nikon D2Xs digital SLR camera. It is set to be released in late June for a retail price of $4,699.

Nikon D2Xs Imaging
The 12.4 megapixels can certainly be beat, but there are few applications for even a pro photographer that need more than the D2Xs provides. The camera features Nikon’s 1,005-pixel RGB Exposure/Color Matrix Metering Sensor.
Images can be trimmed in-camera, and up to 10 images can be merged.
The addition of a black-and-white color mode is sure to please fans of film photography. Photographers shooting in RAW black and white can still retain the color information, so they can revert back to color using Nikon's provided software.
Nikon D2Xs Speed
The new D2Xs can shoot up to 8 frames (if you scale back to 6.8-megapixel images), or five frames per second at full capacity. The camera also features a high-speed crop feature that records the central section of the image at 6.8 megapixels.
The camera's startup is instant, and it boasts a 37-millisecond shutter release time lag.
It also features a speedy read/write function for the memory card.

Nikon D2Xs Body
The Nikon D2Xs features a 2.5-inch wide-angle LCD screen. The camera features a durable magnesium body for various shooting environments.
The camera's dimensions are 157.5 x 149.5 x 85.5 millemeters or 6.2 x 5.9 x 3.4 inches. The weight (without battery) is 1,070 grams or 2.4 lbs.

Nikon D2Xs Extras
Especially useful for travel and scenic photographers, the optional GPS adaptor cord allows users to record latitude, longitude, altitude and heading directly with the photo shooting data for each image.

Buy the wireless transmitter accessory, and you can securely transmit your photos or control your camera from your computer.
