Just released Nikon D2X

No kidding Tom
Enough of the long winded sermons. Photography might be a calling but it's not a religion. I went into photography for it's artistic outlet too but while reading some of these posts I actually heard angels singing. By the way I use a D2h and think it's great because it does everything I need it to. I can wait for the D2x.

My bad. I am so bloody contrite. After a life in photography, I had assumed that cameras had some vague association with photography. A friend just messaged me that there is a UseNet group for you guys to log onto~

Some good news. For some of you guys who are considering an upgrade, the D2H is now under $2000 ($1850, see A&M Photoworld).
On the D2X. I am hoping that the D2X will be my ideal camera not because it has more pixel count, but primarily it will have a more efficient CMOS sensor as advertised. I will be expecting such sensors to have a min of 3X latitude of any existing dslr otherwise I may only subscribe to it for the sake of fellowship. What do guys think?

John,
Roberts has it for $1995. http://www.robertsimaging.com/cmItemDetail.jsp?pid=5018
The $2000 price looks legit. It's on the front page of this site:

Try any of the above links for d2h prices. Anyway the D2h camera will be a good one for that price bracket.

That's a $1400. price drop. That does make it more desirable with the price of the D2x being at least $5000. or more. The D2h does have the LBCast sensor that is a new type developed by Nikon which does help with enlarging prints. It's hard not to just think of the numbers when your talking about pixels. Are those low prices on the D2h grey market. I was fooled into thinking I could ge the D2h for $2400. when it came out. The salesman on the phone said "what do you think we give them away. sure it's grey".
That's Henry Posner from B&H. He is on a few photography lists and is a good person to contact if you have any problems with B&H service. I decided to go with the grey market Nikon 85 1.4 lens because I saved significant money and it's a prime lens. I figured it didn't have too many moving parts and would be less likly to break or need repairs. When I buy zoom lenses I always buy USA. It's not a very scientific plan but I guess I have been intimidated by the Nikon scare tactics about only buying USA warrantied products. In the past it was put out there that if it was grey nobody including Nikon would fix it. You don't know what to believe. There are stories from different lists that give conflicting info on peoples experiences on what will happen if you buy grey and it breaks. You should be able to get a Mack Camera warranty that will cover anything you buy. I have a USA camera body that's covered by Nikon but did get the Mack coverage too.
