Nikon''s D2xs digital SLR features a 12.4 megapixel DX format CMOS sensor that produces stunning images at an amazing 5 frames per second in bursts of up to 60 images. High-Speed Crop (HSC) mode increases the speed to 8 frames per second at 6.8 megapixels, and the HSC viewfinder mask makes it easy to compose in the High-Speed Crop mode. Incorporating high-performance Nikon image processing and color reproduction systems, the D2xs produces images of outstanding quality that meet and exceed the most stringent industry and commercial agency standards. In addition, its exclusive Nikon 3D Color Matrix Metering II intelligently evaluates numerous exposure elements and compares its findings against an onboard database of reference images, resulting in fast, accurate and consistent exposures.

  • High Resolution 12.4 Megapixel DX Format CMOS Sensor with fast 4-channel output produces stunning, professional-quality images at an amazing 5 frames per second in bursts of up to 60 images.
  • High Performance Image Processing Engine works with Nikon''s next generation color reproduction processes to produce images of outstanding quality, meeting and exceeding the most stringent industry standards.
  • High-Speed Crop Mode with Automatic Viewfinder Mask uses data from the central area of the sensor, providing continuous shooting as fast as 8 frames per second at 6.8 megapixels, which is perfect for shooting sports, wildlife or other fast-moving subjects at a distance.
  • 1,005-pixel 3D Color Matrix Metering II - Nikon''s exclusive light metering technology intelligently evaluates numerous elements beyond simple brightness and compares its findings against an onboard database of reference images. Complex and otherwise time-consuming exposures are determined instantly, resulting in consistent and dependable digital imaging exposures.
  • High-quality 2.5-inch LCD Display incorporates an ultra-wide 170-degree horizontal and vertical viewing angle that is factory-calibrated to ensure consistent color fidelity.
  • 11-Area AF System with 9 Cross-type AF Sensors employs Nikon''s advanced Multi-Cam 2000 AF Sensor Module for faster focus with greater precision. Of the 11 widely spread AF sensors, 9 are cross-type sensors positioned in a logical rule-of-thirds array that remain active, even in the High-Speed Crop mode.
