Nikon D1H vs Nikon D2X

Following is a comprehensive assessment of the Nikon D1H vs Nikon D2X, both Pro DSLR digital cameras and both are created by Nikon. There exists a crucial gap between the sensor resolutions of the D1H (3MP) and D2X (12MP) but they possess the same exact sensor size (APS-C).

The D1H was released 4 years before the D2X which is quite a serious gap as far as technology is concerned. Both of the cameras offer the identical body type (Large SLR).

Before delving through a in depth comparison, below is a quick overview of how the D1H scores vs the D2X with regard to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

Following is a sample of the gallery pics for Nikon D1H and Nikon D2X. The complete galleries are viewable at Nikon D1H Gallery and Nikon D2X Gallery.

If you are aiming to carry around your camera regularly, you'll need to think about its weight and proportions. The Nikon D1H features outside measurements of 157mm x 153mm x 85mm (6.2" x 6.0" x 3.3") having a weight of 1200 grams (2.65 lbs) and the Nikon D2X has measurements of 158mm x 150mm x 86mm (6.2" x 5.9" x 3.4") and a weight of 1200 grams (2.65 lbs).

Don't forget, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will differ based on the lens you choose at the time. Here is the front view scale comparison of the D1H and the D2X.

Factoring in dimensions and weight, the portability rating of the D1H and D2X is 51 and 51 respectively.

Typically, it can be difficult to visualize the contrast between sensor sizes merely by reading through specifications. The pic below should provide you a far better sense of the sensor measurements in the D1H and D2X.

Plainly, the two cameras enjoy the same exact sensor sizing but different megapixels. You should expect to see the Nikon D2X to give more detail as a result of its extra 9MP. Greater resolution will also make it easier to crop images far more aggressively. The more aged D1H is going to be disadvantaged with regard to sensor technology.
