By default the D80 hides several of the more technical menus so that ... you activate either the 'Full' or 'My menu' option from thesetup menu.
I have never used the D2X, but if it is anything like newer cameras, such as the D3, D800, etc., there is an eyepiece cover lever near the viewfinder that allows you to open and close the internal cover. It is used to to prevent stray light from leaking into the camera via the viewfinder when your eye isn't near the viewfinder such as when remotely triggering the camera. If your camera has that feature, it may be closed or partially closed.
First make sure that your SD card is not write protected. Look on the edge of the SD card and you will see a very small slide switch. Slide it to the unprotected position. This feature is to allow you to prevent accidental erasure of the memory. If that does not solve your problem, make sure that you format the SD card in your camera; not on your computer. If you go into your camera's menu you will see where you can tell the camera to format the SD card. If that does not work, try another SD card.
Forget about drivers for your computer. Buy an inexpensive (under $20) USB SD flash memory card reader and connect it to your USB port. Remove the SD memory card from your camera and insert it in the card reader. Open Finder if you have a Mac or My Computer for a PC. You will see your memory displayed just as if it were an external hard drive. Open the files on the SD card and copy them to a file on your hard drive. It is that simple. Professionals use this method. We almost never download directly from the camera.
Nikon no longer has the D100 manual on line; but if it is like the more modern Nikons, you will be able to select the resolution in mp from one of your camera's built in menus.
A Photoshop Raw file is a Photoshop PSD file without a header. The header information must be entered when the file is imported into Photoshop. The raw format is used import and export bitmap data using a very simple, uncompressed binary format.
Open the "Shooting Menu" by pressing the Menu button. Press the right Multi-selector and then scroll up or down to "Image Quality". Press the right Multi-selector and you will see the various choices for JPEG and NEF combinations and quality, make your selection by scrolling up or down and pressing "OK".
As for converting you NEF photos to JPEG; you can easily do that in one of several ways on your computer. If you are using Lightroom or Photoshop, all you have to do is open your pictures, select "Save As" and use the pull-down menu to select JPEG and save. If you do not have that program, there are several conversion programs available on the Web; manu for free. I use a program called BatchConverter on my Mac. There are similar programs of PCs.
I use GIMP 2, a free open source editor that is very sophisticated.
I think I had to install an add-on so that it would read NEF files. Gimp converts all files that are edited in it to its own "xtg" file extensions. After I finish editing, I save the picture in the "xtg" file extension then I import it in "jpg" format to the same folder where the original NEF along with the XTG formats are stored. During the editing process, I usually scale the image if I plan to send it somewhere on the web.
I think a lot of other editors have a similar function, especially if the proper codecs are installed.
In addition, in the past I have used conversion programs to do the same thing but it's been a long time. Do a web search for NEF converters and you may come up with a free program or two that will allow you to make the conversion without editing the picture.
With the appropriate codec, Windows can open NEF files for viewing: http://support.nikontech.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/13869
Recent versions of Adobe Camera RAW can open NEF files and allow you to work with them in Photoshop and Photoshop Elements (this is not free software): http://www.adobe.com
The free Nikon ViewNX2 can open NEF files and convert them to JPEG. Nikon CaptureNX2 allows you to work with the NEF files directly, though this is also not free software: http://support.nikontech.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/61
hoestly, no idea how to fix a faulty camera. But I can help youu with some advice: did it actually take the photos? Remove SD memory and introduce it in a SD reader for PC. It should show as a Removable disk and you can verify if your photos are there
You didn't say what software you are using, but there are better ways to download your photos. The best way is to connect your SD flash memory card to the computer. If your computer has a SD card slot you are in luck. If not, you can buy a USB SD reader for under $20 on line or in any computer store.
To use it, remove the SD card from your camera and insert it in the reader. Your computer will automatically recognize the SD card as an external memory device; exactly as it does with an external hard drive. You can then open the SD card and access the folder with your pictures. All you need to do is copy and paste your photos from the SD card to a new folder on your computer. It's that simple. Almost all professional photographers use this method and do not transfer pictures from the camera with the SD card in the camera.
There are several possibilities:
The card may actually be full. It's possible that you did not program the computer to erase the card after downloading the pictures from your last shoot. If that's the case, just format the card in the camera. You can check to see if there are images on the card by pressing the playback button on the rear of the camera. Camera must be "On" to do this.
The card may be corrupted. Again, try formatting. If this doesn't fix the problem, replace the card with a known good one and see what happens. If the camera functions properly, then you know it's a card problem.
If the above doesn't fix it, the card may not be making proper contact inside the camera. However, if that's the case you should be getting a "no card" error message. My D-90 simply won't operate without a card in place.
Finally, if none of the above help, contact Nikon tech support at www.nikon.com. I've found them to be very helpful.
Look at your camera's body with the lens pointing toward you. In the upper right quadrant find the Flash Mode button and push it until the flash is turned off (look for symbol on the camera's display panel). The instructions are on pages 50 and 51 of the D5100 manual. If you do not have a manual, you can download it from the Nikon USA website free by following this link:

If the shutter has 100K operations then the camera may be due for a replacement (not worth repairing).
Please make sure you have a fully changed battery in the camera. If the camera does not have a battery icon anywhere showing a low or dead battery then you have a camera that should be sent to a Nikon Authorized service center. They can clean and repair your camera. They will; QUOTE the repair before you pay. All you are out is shipping costs.
