Coincidentally I just bought a D2h off ebay last week.

Over the past 48 hours I got these shots:

Thanks. No, never tried to sell it - but it's the desktop wallpaper on every computer I use. I think I have a large print of it someplace that I've been been meaning to frame, along with some nice balloon photos done with my D2x.

I'm looking forward to this year's balloon festival with the D700.

Couple more, all with D2h & 300/2.8 AF-S II. Used a Kenko 1.4 TC on the first one. Wish I'd have slowed down the shutter on the third to get some prop blur, but ... live & learn.

I might have a few favorites from the D2H.

Well, my love for the D2H, my favorite camera, is still alive and well. I bought it listening to all those horror stories about its 4.1 megapixels, the meter problem, its "lousy" beyond ISO 400 performance and the infamous error shown in many models at first shot. I am happy to say that after 28 k shots, still not a problem.
The D2H will teach any photographer discipline. If you crop often your files, this camera is not your best choice. Its AF is incredibly fast and precise and if you need a machine gun while shooting, you just got it here too.
In the studio skin colors are superb. Colors in landscape photography are awesome. For action photography it is excellent and although I am not a high ISO shooter, I have used the camera at ISO 1600 without issues IF I overexposed slightly and used RAW files. If any questions, Noiseware does a beautiful job cleaning the noise and preserving excellent details.
It is a great tool and an excellent camera to have if personal protection is needed. Its files are small and easy to handle. I could spend the day just talking about this professional camera.
Those pictures are excellent and demonstrate the abilities of the camera and the photographers shooting with it. Enlargements to 20x30 are no issue with this camera.
For those who have sold it, buy another one and continue to enjoy it.

In general, I agree - but a D2h will surprise you at times.

Here's an original D2h frame and a cropped "poster" I made from it (I had originally designed it as a trading card). I printed the poster at 13x19 for the kid's mom, and it was great! (Name changed, of course...)

D2h, Sigma 120-300/2.8

I miss mine too. The D90 replacement is lighter, which is what I wanted, but still.

Here are some of my favorites.

1) D2H + Tokina 12-24:

Oh let me play. My D2H story. I had a D70 but dropped it in a river while shooting eagles. Insurance covered replacement cost so I opted to get a used D2H instead. That was about 4 yrs ago, and it is still well used today.

Here are some of my samples

my bad, here are the others. In no particular order, but hopefully shows the range of subject matters and situations that the D2H works in.

Mine are gone too ... but of all the loves who's last name was Nikon .... the D2h brings the sweetest memories. Ahhh ... the color, the speed, the file size; just so right. Sob ... sniff .... it was only yesterday - it was so sweet.

I'm on vacation and away from any fresh D2h oldies so these are shot I think I may have posted before. Apologies for that.

The color!

I have the D3 and a D2Hs. Seems like I use the D2Hs about as much as the D3. I like the skin tones better and size and weight are a little less too. Best value on the used market right now.

These are the only two I have access to right now at work. This camera got me some of my best sports and general newspaper work. She was my best friend when I needed a bully of a camera. Once I was done with actual hard work, she was shelved then sold. I didn't like her at all of fun photography and completely preferred the D1H.

I missed my old D2H so much I bought another one!

Just sold my D300 today - moving to the D2H as my only camera. I figure it will make me better.

I love the colors and the small files that come from the D2H. Will miss the high ISO functionality of the D300, but maybe I will buy another one of those once I get better.

I just love the snappy body of the D2H and the files. They just work for me!

I will spare torturing people with my photos - all of the ones above are incredible relative to mine. Still love shootin'

Edit: I sold my 18-200VR with the D300. I need something for the short end, which I dont spend much time in. Im thinking the 35mm 1.8G instead of the 17-55 f2.8. I dont mind zooming with my feet. Good coverage with that little guy for under 70mm

I've got a 35AFS for my D2H. It is one mean combo! Super sharp. Amazing colours. Even wide open. If you know you won't need less than 35mm then go for it. Best $200 you'll ever spend.
