I have got the updated price from o/s the D2x will cost us around Aussie 6K with today exchange rate!

Birddog, that is a bargain. Very reasonable cost

Yes, totally agreed, end of Feb is ETA. I'll try to be the first one among few other to try this new toy. Maxwell delivery will be mid March and their price is around 8K

[Glen]

First cab of the rank also! The delivery date worldwide is meant to be 25th, so great date and price

It's closed to the D2h in retail here, Maxwell stock, AU$4795.00, so why should we bother buying a D2h

[Glen]

Birddy, just saw a new D2H from a Perth store on Ebay go for $3300, makes the D2X look an absolute snip. Anyone want to buy a D70 for $2k?

The D2h on eBay is around that $$$$

Birddog, why not grab both for yourself and retire your D100 and D2H?

[Glen]

Dual D2X, now that would be a combo! Maybe some of the pro photogs will take the double

I only want one and I'll have all in my collection of Nikon Dslr
D70/D100/D2h/D2x,
The missing parts are D1/ D1h/ D1x, I can source them very cheap in the US or HKG but will be later then I'll complete of the Nikon DSLR era in my collection, with other flight helmets and aviation stuff.

This thread brings in many guest (22) maybe, who's lurking around.
Onyx, by the end of your trip, you'll come back with one of this baby hanging around your neck

I need more money!!!

[JordanP]

this is soooo tempting must resist, have set a goal to hit first.

[Glen]

JordanP, how about win a printer in a photo comp?

Don't you mean win a totally awsome printer in a photo comp?

but back to the D2x, I'd love to just use one for an hour or so
<dream sequence><drool>

seems like such a good price, it must be a dream

[phillipb]

And just think how you will be able to put that double exposure feature to use for those weddings. All those 70's special effects like the faces on the certificate and the bride and groom in the champagne glass will make a comeback.

MHD, how did you find that photo! Went to the site, all in japanese and the last english update was in 2001

[MHD]

Repeat after me "I love google images!!!"

Hmmm, looks like a D70, only better....

[MHD]

Some interesting things to note (source: Ken Rockwell):
Max ISO=800
No builtin flash

hmmm... wonder how the offboard ITTL works

[Glen]

MHD, the pro bodies rarely have an inbuilt flash and the range is 100-800 versus 200-1600 on the D70. Probably not an issue for most, I have never taken a shot over 640

400 ix my maximum, never 640.

[Glen]

I'm with you Birddog, that was on a dark night in Thailand, not much noise just crummy shots due to camera shake. I didn't know when flash time is.

[birddog114]

We will have 400 tonight with our photojob at the temple, no flash, fast lenses (1.4 + 2.
