What is a good model of nikon digital slr camera for professional photographers?
Nikon has only one professional model at the moment: the D2Xs. This model combines the high speed (8 FPS) low resolution and low speed high quality (12.4 MP). With Canon, it is still two separate models and other marks have nothing over 3 FPS. One step down, and you have the Nikon D200. I use this same model. Let's see …. metal body with a time of sealing, 5-10 FPS MP, a shutter 100 000 performances, more features than you can shake a stick at, and curently only $ 1400. Another step down, and you have the D80. This model also has a sensor 10 MP and has the same large viewfinder as the D200. 3 FPS ago, has a slightly reduced feature set, the AF is a bit less advanced, and has a body (resistant) plastic with a nominal firing of 50,000 performances. Obviously not as good as the D200 in action photography, but for almost everything else is a great camera. Below D80 has recently suspended D70s, D50, D40 and the new. There are also several old models (D100, D2H, etc.) The D40 and D50 are an important step from the point and shoot cameras, but may lack some features for professional applications. Depends on what you want to use. The D70s and up are widely used by photographers Professional wedding, etc, and the D200 and the D2Xs can be used for almost anything. So Nikon has a camera ideal for almost any budget / requirement. The same goes for your choice of lens.
