I have a new camera...

Nikon D2X, repeat, Nikon D2X, high speed crop mode (that's 8, repeat 8
frames/sec), VR 70-200mm @ 70mm, 1/1250 sec, f/7.6...somewhere in Main
Baldy Chute, for example:

6.8 Megapixels at 8 fps! Pretty amazing detail, especially looking at the
flying snow in the lower left of the pic. How many frames can you burst at
the crop mode? Uncropped? You should have some great pics of the spring
storms/powder.

Baldy Chute, for example:


[snip]

In the High Speed Crop mode (6.8MP), it will do 8 frames/sec for up to
35 JPEG or 26 NEF (raw) frames.

In full rez mode (12.21MP), it will do a healthy 5 frames/sec for up
to 21 JPEG or 15 NEF (raw) frames.

Astro, congrats for the new camera, but is it not too heavy to lug around
whilst skiing?

And I can slow down the FPS rate if necessary.


You're just trying to make us jealous! (And succeeding...)

Did you consider the (marginally more affordable) D2H as well? I've not
found any comparative reviews and am intrigued by how Nikon came to
release a new camera with "only" 4 MP.
