Lol way to dig up an old thread lol...in case anyone is considering a D2x or D300 TODAY....no question the d300...the screen alone and the AF system, and having AF fine tune are the top 3 reasons the d300 destroys the d2x....even in 2009...,wish i could have replied back then to save the OP the trouble...
Agree on the resurrection of a 4 1/2 yr old thread and the D300\'s ability to AF fine tune is great, the LCD\'s
no biggie as long as I can see the histo. The AF on the D2Xs is every bit as fast in good light...with better
AF point distribution. Here\'s the kicker (if you\'ve read this far) I had 3 D300\'s and 2 D300s bodys in those
last 5 yrs along with a D2Xs...guess which one I STILL have?! Mine\'s SO good, that I use it when I first
get a new lens...to determine how good a copy I\'ve gotten. Then it\'s tweak time on my other 5 (all with that
feature) Makes ya wonder...my D3/D700 require very minimal adjustment (if any) but the newer D800, D7K,
and D7100 are all over the place in that regard. I shoot Nikon\'s best glass and Sigma \"A\'s\". Suffice it to say...
the D2X/D2Xs is STILL an awesome tool in the right hands and good light. Nikon REALLY nailed this one.
edit: went out today but nothing was flying...so I played on the ditchbank.
