The D2X is a camera which grew on me the more I used it, its instant response and solid build instill a level of confidence unavailable in lesser cameras. You know that every time you press the shutter release the camera will respond instantly and you'll get the shot. As a photographic tool it's as close to perfection as I could imagine, there's really very little else you could want from a camera. - Phil Askey

With the release of the D2X though, Nikon has re-established itself as a leader at the high end of the pro SLR market. [The] Nikon D2X is [...] a superb shooter's camera, with an excellent "feel" in the hand and a fast and fluid user interface. - imaging-resource

Looks like there finally is a DSLR with both the proverbial Nikon usability (which out of my experience I still consider best of all SLR makes) and a decent sensor. Boy, this is tempting. But would I spend five grands on 35mm equipment? Certainly not. Still good to know that such machines exist.
