Bought a used one for only 250 euro. As a backup for my D1X, which is also a used one. In my opinion a bargain! I love the picure quality. Considering the age of the camera it is phenomenal.

Being this is my first Digital camera, I feel I am not qualified to rate it.

The Nikon D1 was the best digital camara when it first came out, and still excellent despite its age. It has great speed and ease of use. It's practically indestructible. It performs like the first day after yeas of abuse.
I ranked it 4 out of 5 because of the newer cameras with higher resolution. Today, I would consider the Nikon D2X the best camera in the world. and the Nikon D70 the best value.

For what I used the camera for, it was ok. I had to use ISO1600 which was the biggest downfall. The noise is really bad getting that high. The camera does have the ability to go up to 3200 and even 6400 but you'd better be able to do some VERY HEAVY NOISE REDUCTION. The noise isn't like film grain but it appears stronger in horizontal bands.
The camera is slow for today's standards in terms of writing the images to the card. The buffer is probably the most useless in the single shot mode. You cannot take another picture until the buffer is completely empty. This takes a long time. I always use continuous shooting when I use this camera.
The camera feels very good in my hand and very solid. Being a Canon user though, I don't like how the controls are spread all over the camera. I like how my canon has the mode selection dial on the top left, and everything else is on the top right or by your right thumb. I don't like how you have to press a button to autofocus. I'd rather just half press the shutter. My other gripe about being a Canon user is how the numbers are displayed. They are somewhat contorted to fit other functions while the numbers on Canons look like real numbers and not symbols. On last thing is the playback mode. I don't understand why Nikon didn't just include this into their regular shooting modes. If you're in playback mode you have to switch back to a regular shooting mode before you can take actual pictures.
A lot of my gripes probably have to do with the age of the camera and the technology at the time but I just don't like how it's set up, like with the magnetic flap at the bottom that has the buttons under it.
It does feel great, but I would use a D70 over it anyday.
