The D2H
raises the bar even further, it has a brand new Nikon designed 4.1 million
pixel 'JFET sensor' and is capable of capturing eight frames per second for up
to 40 frames (five seconds of continuous shooting at 8 fps). The D2H also adds
a whole lot more including a new eleven area AF module (Multi-Cam 2000), 38 ms
shutter lag and just 80 ms viewfinder blackout, a new ambient external WB
sensor, an orientation sensor, RAW + JPEG format, a huge 2.5" 211,000 pixel
LCD monitor, a new lightweight Lithium-Ion battery (with detailed in-camera
readout) and USB 2.0. The other 'big news' about the D2H system is the new
WT-1 802.11b wireless transmission add-on which allows you to FTP images back
to a server as you shoot them.

it particularly useful for large scale, complex projects that will be deployed
using Flash Player along with a hybrid of HTML content.
