Nikon's professional APS-C DSLR — 12.4MP with 11-area AF and LBCAST sensor technology.
The Nikon D2X launched in 2004 as Nikon's flagship APS-C DSLR, featuring a 12.4MP LBCAST/CMOS sensor — the highest resolution Nikon DSLR at the time. It served professional photographers before full-frame options were affordable.
The 12.4MP APS-C sensor delivered excellent detail for 2004. 11-area AF with 9 cross-type sensors. 5fps at full resolution, 8fps in DX crop mode. The D2X was known for exceptional resolution and colour accuracy for studio and commercial work.
1-series style magnesium alloy body with integrated vertical grip. Dual CF card slots. 2.5-inch LCD. Full weather sealing. 200,000-cycle shutter. 1070g — tank-like professional build. LBCAST sensor technology.
Available used very cheaply. 12.4MP and 2004 technology feel extremely dated. The D300 and D500 superseded APS-C Nikon flagships. Historical significance as Nikon's resolution flagship before the D3. Check shutter count.
