General description of Nikon D2Xs SLR digital camera
The world leader in digital photography technology, Nikon, released the D2x digital SLR camera 3-4 years ago. But to this day, this model remains in the top ten most popular and widely used models of reflex cameras. The main feature of this class of cameras is their mixing, because, like ordinary "soap dishes", they have a digital matrix, with the help of which the image is captured. But on the other hand, these cameras have a technical device based on the well-known film SLR cameras. It is thanks to the combination of a high-precision digital matrix with a mechanical device for transmitting light fluxes that it becomes possible to transfer the image to the matrix as clearly and efficiently as possible and further process the obtained data in such a way as to obtain the clearest, brightest and most realistic images. It is for these features that SLR digital cameras have gained recognition and popularity among photographers and amateur photographers around the world.
And among other digital camera models from Nikon, it is impossible to pass by such a legendary camera as the Nikon D2X (D2Xs). After all, this particular camera has a huge list of unsurpassed parameters and characteristics, thanks to which it got into the category of professional ones. The company had a long way to go before the D2X was born. Back in 1999, a full-fledged professional SLR camera was first released on the world photo equipment market, which later had several upgrades and a number of changes. Its technical and software filling was also changed and improved several times, the technical characteristics and the very name of the camera changed, new, more advanced elements were mounted. And as a result of such hard work, a new SLR camera, perfect in terms of technical equipment and software, was born, which was named Nikon D2x (later upgraded to Nikon D2Xs).
This model has a matrix resolution of 12.4 megapixels, which makes it possible to take photos with the highest possible image quality and minimum noise. With such a resolution of the matrix, it is quite realistic to take photographs in the portrait genre, and then print portrait photographs up to A4 size. In this case, the photo will not have any blurred areas, and the contours will remain clear. For maximum convenience and versatility, the camera is capable of continuous photography at up to 5 fps. This result was obtained thanks to a new method of 4-channel reading of incoming information and an increase in the speed of information transfer from the matrix to the memory card. All captured still images can be saved in two formats: JPEG or RAW. If you use the high-speed photography function with image cropping, the maximum burst speed may increase up to 8 frames per second, but it is important to remember that the resolution of the captured images will be reduced to 6.8 megapixels.
Also a distinctive feature of the Nikon D2x will be the presence of a significantly improved image processing system. All color rendering indicators have been greatly improved due to the simultaneous implementation of digital and analog processing of the received data, which are used to obtain the optimal color spectrum. The accuracy and quality of digital processing in LSI has been improved, due to which the color reproduction has become more natural and realistic.These indicators are extremely important for adherents of landscape photography, because such indicators guarantee a subtle transition of any color shade.
the camera is also compatible with the well-known sYCC color profile, which is embedded in newer printer models. The presence of this parameter means that during printing of photographs on the printer, you will be able to obtain the widest range of color shades. And this directly affects the quality of the photos obtained. The latest image processing technology and 3D color matrix metering of the new version II make it possible to take photos of the highest quality. And for all professional photographers, such a device will pleasantly delight, because it is thanks to these values that it is now possible to obtain photographs with excellent accuracy, color reproduction, contrast and the most smooth reproduction of tones, even if you are printing large format photographs.
Also, for maximum convenience in work, this digital SLR camera has a function for outputting histograms by color channels, a function for displaying world time, the ability to multiple exposure (from 2 to 10 frames), and much, much more. Taking advantage of all the best features and specifications from its predecessors, this camera has received a number of improvements and innovations that are designed to improve the quality of photography, transforming the process of photography into a pleasant and comfortable experience.
For the highest quality and sharpest focusing, the camera received 11 focusing points, which are used when autofocusing on the subject. And the new improved processing engine contributes to the fastest and sharpest color reproduction of the image, making all photos as bright, contrasting and saturated as possible.
In the domestic market, the bottom model is offered in two different trim levels. These are Nikon D2x Body and Nikon D2x Kit. Although the very difference in the configuration is not so significant. In this situation, these are absolutely the same models, the only difference is that the “Body” kit does not include a lens, and the “Kit” includes a standard kit lens with a variable focal length f / 2.5 - 5.6 and a value focal length 18-55. This lens is quite enough for photography of home parties, parties and other home events. But if you intend to seriously engage in photography as a profession, then I do not advise you to spend money on this lens.
