Nikon rolled out an update to its high-end D2x digital SLR (DSLR), adding an "S" to the end of its name as it added just a few tiny updates. The 12.4-megapixel D2xs adds to its excessively long list of attributes minor capabilities such as a recent settings menu that lets you recall shooting parameters you've used before, a black-and-white mode, the ability to crop images when you play them back, and an improved 2.5-inch viewscreen with a 170-degree viewing angle.

But let's don't forget the list of major capabilities the sucker can throw down, with its 5fps shooting at its highest resolution, 3D color matrix metering II, and lots more. This is pro gear, folks, amateurs need not apply; for example, the thing weighs 2.3 pounds and there's no built-in flash. But still, think about all those megapixels, and looky here—the price is lower than before, just $4700, down from the $5000 of its predecessor, the D2x. – Charlie White
