This sensor distinguishes itself by providing excellent dynamic range and responsiveness, allowing photographers to capture stunning images even in challenging lighting conditions.

One of the D2x's standout features is its dual-area autofocus system. The camera boasts 11 AF points, with three-dimensional focus tracking that intelligently predicts the movement of subjects, ensuring sharp focus even with fast-moving objects.
