I had a D1 that was stolen a few years back. When I recently came across this almost like new in box for a fair price, I simply had to get it. Play time!
The revolutionary Nikon D1 was announced on June 15, 1999. From Phil Askey's review on dpreview.com:
"The D1 was Nikons answer to Kodak's domination of the professional SLR's market. It marked an important step in history, the first digital SLR designed and built solely by one of the big manufacturers ("home grown"). It also marked a huge change in expectations over price for this kind of equipment, at the time it was releasd it was at least half (if not a third) the price of it's nearest Nikon based competitor the Kodak DCS 620."
