Designed for photojournalists and sports/action photographers, The Nikon D2Hs digital camera integrates the best technologies from its predecessors with an array of exclusive innovations that deliver the speed, response and handling required for action photography. In addition to Nikon's exclusive 4.1 megapixel DX format JFET image sensor LBCAST (Lateral Buried Charge Accumulator and Sensing Transistor array), the D2Hs features an updated image processing engine in the camera that produces images with higher quality, finer gradations and lower noise, while a refined exposure metering system improves on Nikon's hallmark 3D Color Matrix technology. The D2Hs Auto White Balance and auto focusing systems have been fine tuned to deliver precise, accurate results and an enhanced buffer now offers continuous shooting at 8 frames per second for up to 50 consecutive shots.

Machine gun of a camera

"Good images for the size of the file, but images suffer from Nikon's poor noise control. It's sad to say, but the D2HS has the best high ISO noise of any Nikon camera under the D3 series. That's sad because the noise on the D2HS is pretty bad once you get above ISO 400. Images seem to have a yellow cast; skin tones are not good with this camera. I see a lot of nature and bird photographers get good results with..." Read Full Review »

"Nikon replaced my highly defective D2H with a D2HS afterrepeated failed attempts at repairing the D2H and theimprovement is night and day for shooting in dodgy light. Color now stays consistent to 1600ISO and grain is film-likeat 1000-1600 and pretty much non-existent at 800 or below. Hi-1 entails a …"  Read Full Review »
