GPS data (NMEA 0183) format can be inserted into D2X image files during capture. Connects most GPS RS232 serial output cables to the 10-pin port of the D2X. Latitude, Longitude,... more...altitude and UTC time data can be stored.
Advantages: Movies, LiveView, 12.3 mpixels, build quality, excellent lens range Disadvantages: Still quite bulky for casual use. Expensive if that's all you want it for
popularity elsewhere is the use of ?Eye-Fi? SD storage chips, which, with a tiny wi-fi transceiver inbuilt can send photos direct to printer using your home network without the need for cables
OPPOSITION?
Well, the Canon 5000D has a similar specification including the ability to shoot HD movie and boasts ?even more megapixels?. Before you start comparing prices though, check that the zoom lens supplied is as useful as the 18-105 mm that came with mine. When I looked on Amazon, the price was indeed about £100 lower, but the lens was an 18-55 mm job, which will probably be ?outgrown? by the hobbyist pretty quickly.
I?ve nothing against Canon, and indeed during the 35mm film years I owned a string of four of them, but I?ve always got this sneaking feeling that Nikon are better built, if a little chunkier.
CONCLUSION
At first I thought ...

The Unit
#######
You know your getting a quality product when you hear "Nikon" - they have been in the business for years, and are one of the most trusted companies when it comes to photography.
As the name suggests it's only suitable for Nikon cameras. I have the Nikon D80 and it works perfectly with it. One side of the cable inserts to the side of the camera and the other end has the remote on it. The remote is of a nice side and it fits in your hand comfortably. As you would expect it has a button which when pressed releases the shutter. The good thing about this is that it has a shutter release lock, so those of you who like long exposures - used in night time photography would understand this ...
Advantages: Excellent picture quality, lots of useful features, well designed controls, great kit lens Disadvantages: More expensive than some other DSLRs, quite big and heavy, limited movie mode
How I made my choice
I recently bought the D90 to upgrade from my Olympus 560UZ bridge camera, so this is my first foray into DSLR photography. Most people starting in DSLR photography will opt for the cheaper D40, or the D60, D70 and D80. I am not particularly rich, and in the end chose the D90 because I didn't want to grow out of the smaller DSLR and have to buy a new body quickly. I have found that the prices of Nikon DSLRs haven't decreased significantly over the last 3 years, so I decided (maybe wrongly) that this option would save me money in the long run. I found that it is very important to go into a shop and hold the camera in your hands before making a choice. All the photography shop assistants said that the Canon series was just as good as the Nikons, but I discounted them because I didn't get on with the feel ...
