Nikon D2Hs review, find out how the D2Hs stacks up against the competition in our real-world review with in-depth image quality comparisons.Read more
Nikon's recently-released D2Hs digital SLR replaces the D2H model that raised the performance stakes for DSLRs when it appeared in 2004. Like its predecessor, it's targeted specifically at sports photographers and photojournalists who cover action of any kind. Unlike Nikon's D2X model, which can only shoot at eight frames/ second in cropped mode (producing 6.8 megapixel images), the D2Hs supports continuous shooting at eight frames/second for up to 50 JPEG frames or 40 NEF-RAW frames.Read more
