Is the Nikon D2X still a worthy camera?

I have an opportunity to buy a used Nikon D2X camera. I already have a couple dslr bodies but I'm considering this one as well. I was just wondering if others thought that this was still a worthy camera in today's market.

It is fine, but what will you be paying for it?

The Nikon D300 sensor performs much better than the D2X

A quick check on my local craigslist showed a D2X being sold for $820 and a D300 for $850. For the $30, the D300 would be my choice

Keep in mind that this is an almost 8 year old camera. An entry level DSLR sensor today will easily outperform the D2X's sensor. The ISO performance is pretty weak and it's frame rate isn't too impressive either (5 fps if I remember it right).
If it's really cheap, then it might be ok, but to he honest, I would prefer a D3100 over it (image quality wise). For the 800-1000 bucks they cost nowadays you can get a D7000 which is so so much better.

However, I'd still like to have one just for the sake of owning a D2X.
It might also be refreshing to shoot with it and take its limits as a challenge, as today we're used to higher ISOs, dynamic range etc.

I still use mine every now and again, especially in subzero conditions. It's very reliable and has weather sealing, and if you know what you're doing, you have absolute control over things like white balance, exposure compensation etc.within the limits of the sensor, that is. Compared to today's generation of sensors and electronics which feature things like high iso, fast processing, large memory buffers, blazing fps rates, and substantially less noise, the D2x isn't that hot, but if you're prepared to take a more deliberate approach to your photography it's still a very fine camera, especially when you're shooting RAW, and its EN-EL4(a) battery goes on forever.

Make sure you get a shutter count which tells you something about its history. Also, make sure the rubber grips don't peel off, and it's in good general condition.
Since the D2x was intended for professional photographers, chances are that it's been knocked about and has seen more than 300, 000 clicks. When I bought mine it a few years back, it had less than 30, 000 clicks and was in pristine condition. For a camera like this, that means it's virtually new.

Don't bother with it. Yes it's pro quality body, but that doesn't change the fact that a current, cheap, plastic entry level dSLR (regardless of brand) will outperform it by a mile when it comes to the image sensor which is the most important aspect of any camera. Not to mention the added features of a newer dSLR.

Here's a comparison of three camera image sensors, the D2X, the cheapest, currently available Nikon the D3100 and Sony's cheapest NEX the NEX C3. The 3100 sensor is way ahead, and the little Sony just crushes it. So unless you need that heavy tank like build, and weather sealing, don't even bother, the sensor is so very outdated. I guess it would only be worth it if you could score it for less than an entry level dSLR which start at around 500 US dollars.
