A Beauty to Use!
As Nikon’s top model at the time of release this was expensive, but still much cheaper than Canon’s equivalent. Whether the camera’s resolution is good enough is a question for you and your clients, or repro house, but for the majority of jobs it is good enough. If you’re an enthusiast or semi pro and want to splash out to buy this camera, you probably won’t go wrong... it’s a beauty to use.

As this old pro begins to age, the price has fallen to the point where more and more folks can enjoy the abilities and "feel" of a camera such as this. It is a winner and provides as much as it did when first introduced.

Got one for the same price I paid for a used S2 pro a couple of years ago. This is a great camera, fast, realiable, accurate and producing excellent image quality up to ISO 640 and then manageable noise up through the rest of its range. There are more seetings than you can shake a stick at but as ever the Nikon menus and the wealth of command controls on the camera make it all a breeze. Brick like construction, legendary reliablility and great images at a price that won't break the bank. 10/10 for me.
