Hi new to the community, new to this camera... can anyone tell me if the Nikon D2Xs can shoot video? I've been reading up on it, and I'm assuming not, because I haven't read anything to that effect. But I have noticed a "microphone" icon on one of the settings, so it appears to record audio? I thought that was weird. Anyways, thanks for any input.

I don't know since I entered the digital scene with the D3S,
but I believe in the RFM strategy:

… and welcome to the forum! :P

I have not touched or looked at a D2X, however...

 

I don't believe it does video.

I believe the microphone may be related to voice memos so that you can do a short recording of information about a shot such as the settings or the situation.  I know the later pro bodies offer that option but I am not positive the D2X does.

The microphone is for the voice memo, as Tom already has guessed.

 

The first DX body that can shoot video is the D90. The first D300 has LiveView, but no video option.
