D2H Skin Tone

[Dennis_Stiff]

You are correct. I don't own the camera which to me seems logical if the problems I noted are not resolved. I'm just going by what I see on the web. Right now I would love some concrete answers from clear headed people. I'm running out of time before I need one for the job.

Dennis,

Why not rent one and test it (I think Calumet has stated to rent them) or stop by a friendly camera shop and fire off a couple dozen shots and compare with your current gear?

>>That's why I did my own tests side by side with my D1x. All factors were known.<<

Again, "everything's good if you like it!"

Glad it is working out for you!!

Probably the worst thing he can do (and no offense intended.)

If you remember, a lot of the poor D2h's bad press began because (#1) Nikon (refused / neglected) to post (good) pre-sales samples, and (big) #2 folks started going to camera stores, and shooting off god-awful high-ISO junk shots in badly lighted stores.

This (#2) produced many of the really junky shots on the web that started all the bad publicity on this camera from the beginning.

Renting one, and using it for a week or so (or even a few days) would be his bet bet (IMO,) where he can at least get some of (his) real-world type photos and explore the thing.

This is not a camera that pop's off "no-brainer" files out of the camera.

Sal,

I emailed you a file...tough lighting, ISO 1000...I think its better than a D1x could produce. I've shot here many times, it a very difficult ice area.

I'll need to rent one and take it to the river for a week or two which on my budget is too expensive. Even so, if you compare photo's on the web between various brands or other Nikon models I still wince when looking at a D2H shot...er...that's my job, taking photo's with good color with a minimum of post processing and in a hurry with a large volume of images...like the stuff I get with the D1H. I've been doing this kind of photography with Nikons for a long time. I want a bigger imager and quality just like everyone else who moved up to the D2H.

Skin tones are excellent on my D2H. Even better than on
my D1X. Here's a sample I took a few days ago with
my 70-200VR. I don't need better skin tones than this.
