Time is of the essence to photojournalists heavily involved in action or sports photography. 
Capturing the moment demands instant response, high speed, accuracy, and logical 
design for ease of handling and operation. Image quality must be exceptional. And, these 
images must be deliverable into the workflow and out to the viewer quickly. Working 
alongside pros in the field, Nikon set out to satisfy these needs and demands through 
ground-up development of the next-generation professional digital SLR camera.
The Nikon D2

H

 is ready to shape the future of digital photography. At the heart of the 

system is Nikon's exclusive new JFET image sensor LBCAST that makes great strides in 
quality, performance and efficiency, while also inheriting the advantages of the established 
Nikon DX Format. New image processing and auto white balance systems support the 
LBCAST sensor in realizing highly accurate color reproduction and total image quality. An 
all-new 11-area AF system ensures sharp, quick focus. A compact yet rugged magnesium 
shell, new lithium-ion battery system, and optional wireless (IEEE 802.11b) transmitter 
assure maximum field performance and fast movement of images into the workflow. And, 
full integration with the Nikon Total Imaging System rounds out this new camera’s perfect 
combination of technology that achieves speed with accuracy as never before possible.
