I believe normally this kind of shots would have either the gown blown or the background seriously under exposed.
Oh boy...I am soo gonna sense espn, AJ23 and some others jumping on you for this statement, have you remembered to don your flame-retardant suit? ;pMooEy said:between s3 pro and d2h, i would take s3 pro lor. d1h is a rather sad story, d2h will eventually end up as the same. pro level body, but lack of megapixel to do serious work.

In short, megapixels is not everything. I know a friend who has blown up prints up to A0 size from a D2H, for a customer, no loss of detail and stuff. :thumbsup:

espn said:I might be wrong, but isn't this very much due to exposure control (metering) rather then DR?
Note: I'm not fighting to prove Nikon is better but just curious as I personally don't overexpose gowns and still get good exposure with good DR.
Question is this: Is the DR worth the compromise to the AF module and MP? That is a question every buyer should ask. For the photo or sports journalists, they would mostly preferred the high fps and AF rather than the DR. The DR of the D2X/D2H is about that of slides. So? Is the DR of slides inferior?singscott said:Why? Can not give a different view :angry: I also with S3pro The S3pro dymanic range is better and the CCD is bigger these are facts. So what D2H is a cam 2000. The funny thing about Nikon is that they launch D2H only to have a few months down the road come up a D2X that can do every thing a D2H can but better. They say it options you will can have in the new camera. I say bull ****. I dun see them come up a camera that fuji had well develop. Which mainly better CCD. So what I have fast camera but got sucky film or CCD? Only D2X's CCD have some kind of comparelation to the S3pro's but at what price? Why worldwide price of D2H is dropping? Just go to B&H photo or some internet photography dealer you will see D2H is only 60% - 70% of it's price when it first launch. I advise is don't blindly follow brand la. Just because it a Nikon it is better. :bsmilie:

As for the "Nikon is that they launch D2H only to have a few months down the road come up a D2X that can do every thing a D2H can but better" part, 17 months (hardly "a few months") is a long time. It is call progress. Everyone does it. Eg D60 -> 10D 10 months.
As for the price drop, isn't it better for the consumers? If you want to compare about dropping of price and product, do the "other" brand .
