Customer Reviews

The joy of eight frames a second
You can shoot 8 frames per second, up to 50 frames continuously (jpeg, 40 raw) with this Nikon workhorse. And don't be fooled -- that 8 fps is not just for sports. Being able to zip off shots like that lets me get just the right facial expressions for people and wildlife, and capture subjects at the moment they look straight into my lens. It's terrific for twirling dancers! When I work with this camera I always end up sweating like a pig, but always get at least one shot that is far better than I planned.

Other pluses:
1. Fast focus (otherwise, what's the point?)
2. Good build quality.
3. Accurate battery gauge.
4. Auto ISO (lets you prioritize shutter speed and the camera adjusts the film speed, though I never get good results over 1200 ISO or so).
5. A large bright LCD (chimps rejoice!) makes it easy to review your shots.

Really there's only two problems: image size is just 4.1 meg (sometimes my facial features or other small details suffer) and there's too much noise at high ISOs. How does it camera compare to the new Canon models? In my experience (limited), I noticed that the Canon focused a hair faster and is more forgiving in shadow detail, but my Nikon was always a little more sharp.

Fantastic: Great speed, excellent color, low noise and awesome focus
Most of my friends suggest that I buy a camera by Canon. It would be only 1/3 the price, maybe half the price. But they spend most of the time correcting the RAW files in Aperture or Lightroom and I have always perfect pictures. No corrections, no electronic image retouche. Just great pictures!

And yes, it's worth the price. You save countless hours and tons of GB harddisc space. Don't accept a second best solution. If you can afford a Nikon D2HS SLR go for it!

Excellent Value; Repeat Customer
This is the second factory refurbished camera I have purchased from Cameta Auctions (this time through Amazon.com). Both cameras have been in perfect condition 10/10 and have performed flawlessly. As a result, I have been able to upgrade my equipment to professional level camera bodies at a cost of $[...] on the dollar. I have no hesitation recommending the purchase of factory refurbished cameras, either through Cameta or any of the other vendors with which Amazon is connected.
