The Nikon D1 is a digital single-lens reflex camera introduced on June 15, 1999.[1] It featured 2.74 megapixel image resolution, 4.5 frames per second continuous shooting and accepted the full range of Nikon F-mount lenses. The camera body strongly resembled the F5 and had the same general layout of controls, allowing users of Nikon film SLR cameras to quickly become proficient in using the camera.
Although Nikon and other manufacturers had produced digital SLR cameras for several years prior to the D1's introduction, it was arguably the first digital camera to truly displace 35 mm film as the medium of choice among many professional photographers, especially for news and sports photojournalism.[2] It is frequently used to capture still images of aquatic life, and, according to a 2001 study, also common in plastic surgery practices.[3]
[edit] D1H and D1X
The D1 was replaced by the D1H and D1X on February 5, 2001.[4] The D1X offered higher resolution with a 4,024 × 1,324 5.3 effective megapixels sensor, and continuous shooting of 3 frames per second for up to 21 consecutive shots.[5] The D1H was oriented towards fast action photography, keeping the same 2.66 megapixels image sensor as the D1, but pushing the frame rate to 5 frame/s for up to 40 consecutive shots.[6] The Nikon D1H is also the camera used for instructional purposes at the USA Defense Information School (DINFOS) at Fort George G. Meade, MD. This school is where the US Department of Defense trains journalists and public affairs specialists.
