Anyone use or have experience with this Nikon?
With thanks.
Had one for 3-4 years.
Great camera with no complaints.
Traded in to B&H for a D4.

It was my first Nikon professional digital camera, in 2005. Outdated now, at only 12 megapixels, and nowhere near the high ISO performance of today's DSLRs. But I used it in the studio until a couple years ago. Great camera, if used within its limitations.
I cannot get the auto focus to work. Works fine on manual Three different lenses, still no focus. Any ideas? Thank you/
State of the art back in the day. Competent camera as long as you stay at 400 ISO or below. Noise above 400 is simply awful.
You can still have a lot of fun with a 13 year old professional camera. 6fps, 12 mp, iso up to 800 if your getting a good deal on it. Old professional cameras can run up a lot of shutter counts, check it before you buy.
I wound up with two of these several years ago. I bid on one on ebay, the next day I found a D2Xs on Craigs List while working in Kansas City that came with a 18-200 and a 35mm 1.8 at a price I couldn't pass up. A few days later I received a congratulations email from ebay stating I'd won the auction on that one. I forgot to cancel my bid. This one is a F2X with 1200 shutter actuations on it. I've enjoyed shooting with both and appreciate the build quality and other advancements for the period. I still use them but not near as much as my D7200. When someone asks if I have a camera they can borrow I hand one of these with an 80-400 lens attached and they immediately withdraw their request.

It's very unusual to find an old professional camera with that low a shutter count, good find.
The first one had 32000 actuations. And of course I meant D2X :)
