View Full Version : D2Xs John P. Reyes 08-11-2006, 11:51 AM Is nikon capture nx the only software that can handle the NEF files of this new body? tj_parpan 08-11-2006, 09:23 PM As of now, that seems to be the case. That topic's been discussed on Juergen Specht's D1scussions e-mail list. Check out: http://www.juergenspecht.com/lists/d1scussion/ to subscribe and view the thread archives discussing the D2Xs issue and options. tj_parpan 08-11-2006, 09:30 PM Here's one shortcut that was attempted: "Yes, as the Adobe Camera Raw site sort of points out by omission, the D2xs isn't supported yet. Adobe has been releasing an update about once a quarter though, so it shouldn't be a long wait. Others who have been impatient have edited the EXIF "Camera model" field of a copy of the NEF to read D2x... which lets ACR 3.4 open the file." Not sure how well that worked though... John P. Reyes 08-11-2006, 10:09 PM Thanks TJ. I did the stupidest thing of buying the body without researching.:Oops: But, who would have guessed that Nikon would come out with a body that needed special software to handle its output.:Mad: dave_deluria 08-12-2006, 01:16 AM Adobe has been releasing an update about once a quarter though, so it shouldn't be a long wait. I can attest to this. When I got a 30D I wasn't able to import my RAW images into my existing apps either. But sure as rain, it was supported the moment the update to Adobe Camera RAW became available just a couple of months later and everything has been fine and dandy ever since. tj_parpan 08-12-2006, 06:50 AM Thanks TJ.

It's still a great camera! I can lend you my D200 if you want. Pahiram na lang ng D2Xs mo. Kidding! Other Nikonians mentioned other RAW converters like Bibble that might work with D2Xs files. MAybe just shoot RAW+JPG in the meantime and wait for the latest Adobe Camera Raw that will support the D2Xs. John P. Reyes 08-12-2006, 07:12 AM Not to worry. It's still a great camera!

Thanks for the offer of your D200!:) @Dave So, you were just storing pics for two months? ian_santos 08-12-2006, 07:18 AM What's the main difference of the D2Xs and the D2X aside from the screen view and improved battery life? John P. Reyes 08-12-2006, 07:34 AM What's the main difference of the D2Xs and the D2X aside from the screen view and improved battery life? Better noise handling faster auto focus/tracking subject Bigger buffer more tone curves can be downloaded Its basically just a small ugrade from the D2x. Nothing spectacular in terms of new technology or features. If I had a D2x, I wouldn't change it. Plus, Nikon will be coming out with firmware that will essentially turn your D2x into the D2xs. ian_santos 08-12-2006, 07:53 AM Hah! That's great news John! I have a friend kasi who bought a D2x last year and regreted the purchase when the d2xs came out. I hope that upgrade comes out soon! John P. Reyes 08-12-2006, 08:09 AM Hah! That's great news John!

The D2x that he has now is a great camera. Earl Gonzalez 08-16-2006, 12:16 AM Is nikon capture nx the only software that can handle the NEF files of this new body? :) Yes for now.
