I have a D2xs. It's now my main shooter.
Upgrade from the D200's I've been using for several years.
*I* can't comment on it vs the Fuji, but SnapSort does.

But, I can say that I paid about 10% of their listed price for my used one with about 20k shutter activations.

Here's something else for you to consider. A comparison between the D600 and 2Xs

I can't believe that comparison they are saying the D2Xs cost is the same as the D3X and the D2Xs is a DX body. I have a D2X and the D2Xs is only one step up from that model which came out in 2005.

I still use the Fuji S5 for portraits:

Caveats: small buffer, huge raw files.
Plusses: amazing skin tones, straight out of the camera, Super CCD gives great dynamic range.I shoot jpeg only with it.
Too bad they didn't make an S6.

No way could that be right http://www.amazon.com/Nikon-D2Xs-Digital-SLR-Camera/dp/B000G6JOP0 this camera is not manufactured anymore and prices are way off as are the specs.
