The D1X was announced 4 years earlier than the D2X which is quite a significant gap as far as technology is concerned. Both the cameras come with the identical body type (Large SLR).

Before we go straight into a detailed comparison, below is a brief introduction of how the D1X matches up versus the D2X in regards to portability, imaging, features and an overall score.

This is a sample of the gallery pictures for Nikon D1X and Nikon D2X. The whole galleries are viewable at Nikon D1X Gallery and Nikon D2X Gallery.

If you're going to carry around your camera regularly, you will want to factor its weight and measurements.

Quite often, it is tough to imagine the difference between sensor sizes only by going over specs. The picture here may give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the D1X and D2X.

As you can plainly see, the two cameras have got the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You should anticipate the Nikon D2X to offer more detail with its extra 7 Megapixels. Greater resolution will allow you to crop pics much more aggressively. The more aged D1X is going to be behind when it comes to sensor technology.
