Equipment factors can affect the final results, as well as photographic skills and technical expertise.Every digital camera made will give you an acceptable image, as long as you obey the simple rules of photography and post-production.Trying to push the limitations of the camera, and your post-production ability, that’s usually where the problems arise.The choice of camera is down to the individual; the more expensive doesn’t always mean the best. The same could be said with different brands.The 2DX is a fine camera, it has certain limitation, work within its parameters and its images results will stand-up.I think any upgrade of camera does have to have a logical reason for purchase. But, like all hobbies there’s an obsessive element to have the latest, I can’t criticise that, as I’m just as guilty, m’lud.But, I do think that Nikon have cleverly played on our weakness a bit too much recently, and maybe we are due  a change of camera which their range is certainly short of.</blockquote>
