NIKON D2X SLR 12.4 Megapixel Digital Camera

The D2x was Nikon's flagship professional camera in the days before the D3.  For those looking for a high quality, pro-build camera at a low price, this is the camera for you.  Sure, it's still crop sensor, and the shooting speed of 5 frames per second is nothing to write home about, but it is still an effective camera for many.  If you choose to buy one of these, you'll have a pro quality camera that has served many well in the past.  It just wont be as flashy as a newer model.  Think about it, the D2x may be just perfect for your needs.

Part of the venerable Nikon Dxx series, the D200 is Nikon's last generation semi-professional camera body (followed up by the D300). Even today, it remains a good buy for those looking for a compact, yet rugged DSLR with semi-professional features. The D200 offers 11 autofocus points, and a shooting speed of five frames per second.  It is house in a rugged magnesium frame body, which gives it a bit more heft than most prosumer level cameras on the market.  It's not the latest technology, but the D200 remains a solid buy for many.
