Nikon today announced the long-awaited D2x professional digital SLR camera.  This camera captures twice as many megapixels as the body that it replaces, using the same DX format sensor size.  Some of the important specs for underwater shooters:

12.4 Megpixels CMOS
ISO 100 - 800
iTTL and dTTL compatible
5fps
Shutter flash sync at 1/250th with high speed iTTL sync
High (12.4) and low (6.8 megapixel) resolution shooting modes
Enhanced Wifi features

Excellent news for underwater shooters is that a number of housing manufacturers have already developed housings for the Nikon D2h which shares the same body as the D2x so hopefully housings will be available soon.

  3. Good to see “Enhanced Wifi features” listed as important to underwater shooters!  :) I think a liveaboards should install access points!

    Perhaps LMI can introduce WiFi grips on their Titan D2x housing?

  4. Perhaps you can run a really long antenna out of the housing to control the camera remotely (it could even be sealed) is more like what I was thinking…

    Not very important to most people, but dayum that would be cool for a pole cam.

    Cheers
