Of course as long as I can use my 80-200 lens, I'm quite happy. The D2x to me is just more versatile, more user-friendly, and more efficient to use.

However, there is still a significant improvement in overall quality in my images since I moved to the D2x from my original D100. Just the fact that you can do a 4300x3200 or so image and then resize it to 1200x800 -- you can have sharper results. To this day though, I consider film on my N90 with say... kodak portra film to be superior to any digital. But no way I'm going back to film lol.

I just don't get that 'soft, natural' feel I used to get with my portra, like below:

pic looks airbrushed, but there is 0 touchups or sharpening or whatever here. Straight out of negative reader. Digital still doesn't allow for overexposure without washing out everything.


Its annoying though, to have these huge raw files now, 200 photos at 4 gigs... i just bought an external Blu-Ray burner so I can actually back this stuff up without taking up so much space.
