Nikon D2Hs vs D300

[lsisaxon]

It is CMOS, not a derivation of it. Only the CMOS we are used to uses MOSFETs, while the JFET LBCAST uses.. well, JFETs.

JFET and CMOS processes are very different processes. JFET is closer to bipolar transistor process.

I got my D300 yesterday and if there is 1 reason you should get it for is the huge screen. It is a great camera overall with many many little improvements here and there that make a difference.

I do agree the screen is very nice, especially the high res of it.

51pts 3D AF tracking which follows your subject!

May I know how fast and accurate is the tracking?

Thanks

D80 can use AA batteries, but unless I have run out of Lithium batt I don't think I will every touch AA batteries. And it is real hard to run out of batteries on either D2x or D80. I think the current batch starting from D2H has never been "battery bad" anyway. D1 and D100 are also fine, just that I don't like Ni-MH. Heard D200 was bad, but how bad it is I don't know since I have never played intensely with it.

Pay airfare to keep my camera? ;p
I think a 2nd hand camera in better condition in B & S is a better idea... later you take two shots on the D2x and shutter break on you...... :bsmilie:

True. Even thought the batteries used by D2 series bodies are expensive, they have very high stamina.:thumbsup:

Like nothing I've experienced in previous Nikon DSLRs. ;p Not even D2X.

Hey guys!

I was considering which of the two cameras to buy too. My final decission is the D2Hs. If you want to know why I go for the D2Hs, I can tell you. If someone wants to know how good the noise-reduction is, maybe I can do a simple test.

possible to compare it to the D300?

thanks

I don't know actually. The reason that I pick the D2Hs is because I see many pro using this cam and it produces very nice color. I don't need the 12MP and if I want to print a huge poster I will boost the resolution up in Photoshop. The AF is extremely fast! D300 does have that fast fps too, but only when the verticalgrip is attached. I am told that the press-button of the verticalgrip of D300 is too sensitive. Besides, D300+verticalgrip cost much more here than D2Hs (in Europe, since I live in Europe).

If there are interests, I can shoot some high ISO with D2Hs. D2Hs may be 'outdated' (although it is only 3 years old) and this cam is the little brother of the king D3. In contrast to D300, which is the brother of D200. It is a very good cam too (with no doubt). But both cameras come from different classes. For me, D2Hs satisfies my needs. And that is why I go for D2Hs and use my D70 that serves me for many years as a backup cam.

Well Said :thumbsup:

D2Hs will have smaller files, obviously. Also a used D2Hs is about a thousand dollars cheaper than a new D300 + grip + EL-4a (for 8 fps) + battery cover, and feels a lot better in your hands (since the grip is integrated). Most feel noise control is better than all the other Nikons besides the D300 and D3.

 

[Henessy]

To add on, the processing speed of D2hs is very fast. The write speed is excellent coupled with a fast card. Maybe is because if the small file.

sorry to hijack, anyone knows how much would a brand new d2hs cost now ?

I am also considering the same options, until i saw this thread.

Perhaps you may call the common shops like CP and MScolor to check.

Wah, they still have stock of D2h. They is like very old stock...

 

[viceroy666]

Should I give up my beloved D2h for the new D300? D300 seems to offer better features and photo quality. Need some advise.

Thanks

 

[wildstallion]

Depends if you need the features.

It does.

 

[Luval]

Pple upgrade for Various Reason. Some are self appointed justification to upgrade. Get what you need and dun buy for the sake of buying what u want. Not many can do that !
