Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2012
The camera has a wonderful feel, viewfinder and reasonably good controls. But the results are disappointing. The sensor is undersized for this class of camera and considering what its competition (Canon) offers. Nikon finally realized this and on Dec. 13 decided to dump all these cameras by lowering the price $1,200. It just so happened mine was in Melville, N.Y., with a long list of issues to be repaired while it was still under warranty. These include bad AF performance since upgrading to V2 of the firmware, bad color, overexposure, blurry images with the VR lens and inconsistent color balance from frame to frame even when using a preset value.
I would strongly suggest that you don't buy this camera and thereby reward Nikon for producing an inferior product originally sold at a ridiculous price for what it offers. Indeed, forget Nikon and go to Canon.
Bad: Skin tone renditions a color other than skin. White balance doesn't balance well. Noise at anything above ISO 200, looks like 3200. CF card door tough to open. Screen fogs if you breathe when you shoot. Battery cover is not part of the battery. Button placement not as intuitive as on the D100. 4.1MP allows for virtually no cropping of enlargements.
Dumped mine a month after I got it.
The digital camera industry is all about bigger better faster and relentlessly sucks money out of wealthy peoples pockets.
In the days of film it was all about natural color rendition, grain size then speed all had a compromise till Fuji Velvia.
This camera is a fortress it does the job and with good lighting it's blazing fast.
4mp well it's not point and shoot 4mp's it's pro level, equivalent to say good Fuji Velvia 400 ISO film in image quality.
It has noise it's not tack sharp like 12 mp FX.
It lacks the dynamics and shadow detail, In fact the D200 and D300 can sink it as far as IQ and higher ISO go's.
It's skin tones are still holding the crown like the D200, 300 and D700 and as far as all around imaging it's good for day shooting studio, sports, street and architecture even some macro.
The Skateboard and BMXer photographers still shoot with these and a good Nikon flash.
Now with that out of the way as far as landscape i would say it's not it's strong points i have done it but it's more post processing i would like to be doing for a decent photo at say 11'x14" max.
High ISO is poor and shows this cameras age or more like lack of technology you're pushing it at 800.
I stay between the 200 and 800 window.
The view finder is like a pro view finder should be, big and wide.
Moving your eyes within this big view is a big part of the Pro line cameras.
The light intake is bright the info settings are well laid out.
2.5" LCD is an information screen nothing more it shows your image but it's not all that accurate in color
(Use the histogram).
The information setting are easy to figure out and all the things you need without all the fluff.
The audio info microphone is a cool feature, your out shooting and you need info say a persons consent record the name address Etc to the image file and your good to go.
Now for things i don't like.
For mirror lock up as for cleaning sensor on all cameras including the big brother D2x that i own also, if you have a fully charged battery it can be done.
On the D2h you need the Massive Nikon EH-6 wall AC adapter to do this (Sucks). Why? Your in the field and you get crud on the sensor you have to resort to the bulb setting to clean your sensor, while holding the shutter button down top start cleaning with one hand PITA!!
Also this basically activates the sensor with electricity and can draws more dust to it, you accidentally release the shutter button while swabbing the sensor and crunch there go's your shutter blades..
Speaking of Batteries, the EN-EL4A last a long time on this camera.
One other thing is the D2h has a history of bad shutters, lots of reviews on Err showing up on the internet, the mirror locks up on the first initial frame then the next it closes.
After that all is normal, some say this is a normal process that is nature to the D2h, if so why didn't the D1 do it?
Some reports show it just locks up and the shutter is crapped out even at low shutter actuation's.
I bought mine from KEH with this Err problem advertised Parts Repair it was $40.00 with free shipping.
I figured it was a gamble for basically a mantle collection piece, It arrives KEH is fast.
Sure enough first fire Err mirror locked up hit it again Err mirror down did this like four times.
I'm thinking lets crank the shutter speed to max and set it to high speed continues.
Hit the button it was all jumping around then boom it's sounding like a weed wacker blazing 8fps smoothly.
It's been fine ever since and just gives one Err frame at start up then all is normal.
Could this be a D2h fluke? I think not but the damn thing works for stupid cheap $40.00!!
What can be the problem? Don't know but be aware that it can be a hit and miss, don't pay more than $100.00 for one of these.
In all seriousness get the D2x, D2xs 12mp for the pro feel.
Get the D300, the 300 is not pro level but it's still built of 90% metal weather sealed and has much better resolution.
You get one of these if you want to know how the pro Nikon anvel's feel, i like heavy and want to move up to a pro FX body.
Been shooting a D700 with a grip that feels heavier than the D2h.
I'm not into the latest and greatest i don't do video so i could care less i don't need roadside billboard size prints so i don't need anything past 12 or 24 mp.
What i do need is micro dynamics, shadow details and real true color rendition.
The D700 is still good on detail and skin tones, the D2h has skin tone down to a science and is a great studio camera with set lighting conditions.
The rest of it's saga? Big Bird is close to 20 years old but still a workhorse for the beginner just don't expect modern looks out of it, use it for it's strengths.
It can use just about all the F mount Nikkor lenses, except Pre Ai but with a modified aperture ring yes we are using Nikkor-O 35mm f2 lenses.
But remember this is a DX format not FX, any lens full frame times it by 1.5 to get the cropped mm equivalent the sensor is seeing.
So my 14mm f2.8 Rokinon FX shows 21mm on DX.
Have fun making images and enjoying photography.
