Miss Vegas left out the high end D2Xs, which sells for over $4,000 for the body alone. This is a 4-to-5 pound monster by the time you get a decent lens on it, but it is a real workhorse with features that a pro journalist would value. In the continuous shooting mode, it will take from 5-to-8 images per second, depending on image size. The shutter has been tested to "well over 150,000 cycles." The autofocus is extremely fast and works in extremely low light.
The Nikon D2Hs is a similar camera with 4.1 MP instead of 12.1 MP. There may be some speed advantage to the smaller file size, but I am somewhat at a loss to explain the continued market position of this camera.
The Nikon D200 is an excellent camera that will probably stand up to the demands of professional journalism. It is somewhat lighter than the D2Xs and it is 10.2 MP instead of 12.1 MP, but its performance numbers are similar with 5 frames per second in continuous mode. The autofocus is not quite as quick as the D2Xs, but it blazes compared to most "mere mortal" DSLR's out there. The D200 has weather and dust seals which are lacking on most lesser cameras. While it is not an underwater camera, you can use it with less fear of damage to the camera in some "real world" situations.
I can't provide a direct link to B&H Photo on Yahoo! without getting into trouble, but if you go there and search for these cameras, you will find critical user reviews for each model. There are 10 for the D2Xs and over 80 for the D200. I suggest you read these reviews (or many of them anyhow) and decide which of these two models would serve you the best.

For professional and journalistic photography it would be the D2X for sure. Takes really nice pictures with the a cheap lens. I still perfer the Canons Mk-II over the D2X but I just like Canon's interface. The D2X thats amazing pictures. If you want something cheap, the D200 still takes really nice pictures just without all the pro features that the D2X has.
