Hi everyone. A few years back, when the Nikon D2X was just released I bought myself one, i was very into aviation photography and at that point wanted the best. It was a case of having all the gear and no idea. That said I went on to learn a lot about the camera and ended up getting some really nice lenses for aviation photography.

Since moving to the US i want to back in to photography, there is so much here from an outdoors perspective I want to take pictures of. I did buy a Sony RX-100 as a leaving present for myself when we left the UK, it takes great pictures and i have been enjoying using it and learning these past few weeks. Its only down fall is the lack of a telephoto lens.

So I have the D2X - My question is, should I sell it, and the lenses and look to get a more modern DSLR? Maybe a Cannon? I'm not sure I need todays equivalent of a D2x, in fact I know I dont.

Should I sell just the body and get another Nikon? and use the lenses.

Either way, what would you suggest getting to replace it. I'd still love to take pictures of planes at some point, but I am really liking the landscape stuff.

Or, and here is another question. Is there nothing wrong with the D2x?

I dont mind spending some cash, so dont let that sway your advice.
 
Thats a very fair question Nexus. Would it spur me on to use it. I dont know, I would like to think it would.

I do have a couple issues with the D2X.

1. Dust on the sensor is so bad with this camera. I used to be forever cleaning it.
2. Its just massive, taking it anywhere is a mission, especially with 200 - 400VR Lens on it.
 
What about the difference in pixels, I notice that the newer cameras are double the d2x, will that make a huge difference?
 
Hi, I currently have the following:
*
Nikkor AF-S 24 85mm 1:3.5-4.5G ED
*
Nikkor AF VR 80-400mm 1:45-5.6D ED
*
I also have a Nikkor macro lens, unsure of specs and an F2.8 Prime lens, again, unser of specs.* I also have an SB-800 Flash.
