What are /p/'s thoughts on the Nikon D2x?

I'm thinking of getting one as an upgrade from the XTi I have now.

Are you ready to switch platforms?

a better idea, since you're already with Canon, would be to wait for the 5D mkii to hit stores so you can get a used or even new original 5D for cheap

Fuck that. What, I'm tied into Canon with my kit lens? Come on.

Actually, I regretted going Canon from the beginning.

so all you have is an XTi with the kit lens and you've already decided you hate Canon?

Listen man, check your brandfaggotry at the door and either tell me about the D2x or fuck off.

I think you'll be disappointed when you move too as they are all much the same, despite what the holy brand wars veterans may claim.

OK, fine, I'll bite.


I went with Canon initially because some Canonfag convinced me it was the best route due to the lens lineup. Since then I have hated every second of the cheap construction of the entry level XTi compared to even my buddy's D40x. I also prefer the ergonomics of Nikons. And now that I've been looking at photographic tests it looks like Nikon performs better at high ISOs pretty much across the board.

So fuck it. My XTi, kit lens, and 50mm will be sold and I'm switching. I should have done it from the beginning.

Now, will someone with experience with this camera tell me something about it?

i've had both canon 1d's and nikon d2's they're pretty mych the same, the big difference is that the d2x fuckin' SUCKS at high iso's. if you want something better get the eos 1d/1dm2 and some lenses, e.g ef 17-40/4 or 16-35/2.8 and a 70-200.

however if you want to go over to nikon, check out the d200/d300 instead. they're very similar to the d2's and d3.
lens-wise get the 17-55 and a 70-200 vr or 80-200.

tl;dr do whatev. /p/ doesn't really care about your gearfaggotry.

if you have a camera up against your face for hours a day little differences in ergonomics can make or break your level of satisfaction with the camera.

the cooperation of the rotating thumb wheel, the front finger wheel, and how they control the menus mutually (as well as the setup of the menus) completely sold me more than anything else for the 40d.

Exactly what a brand whore sounds like. Photographers don't speak like that. Brand whores do. A visit to dpreview will confirm this.

I love all the Canon homos in this thread pretending they're not Canonfags. Cute. Have fun letting Canon shit on your chest in the form of shitty bodies and lenses.

I'm sorry the L series would like a word with you. What's the nikon equiv of this? Like seriously that company needs to simplify their labeling.

You are the biggest gear-obsessed weirdo here. Did a Canon executive run over your cat? Sheesh. I can imagine you dressing up in your cape and mask to rush around the streets at night - seeking vengeance upon any Canon brands you can find. FOR GREAT JUSTICE!

I'm reporting this thread because it is completely awful and you've contributed nothing but your tantrums and weak and desperate insults as it heads deeper into the sewers. Awful.

Not *everyone*. There are a bunch of people smart enough to stay the hell away from this faggotry.
