Editorial Review:Product Description:It began in the autumn of 1999 with the original Nikon D1, the camera that forever changed the face of photography with its skillful blend of highly advanced digital technology and superb camera design. Nikon calls it 'Digital-ness' and 'Camera-ness'. Digital-ness addresses the practical needs to create an extremely fine image, while Camera-ness speaks to the photographers' needs to handle a camera that responds to their instincts and technical requirements - making great pictures doesn't happen by accident.Nikon's combination of digital and camera handling design reveal an exceptional effort to meet all the needs of picture making professionals while expanding the potential for digital photography. The D1X's 5.33-million effective pixel CCD enables image capture with superior detail and color vibrancy. 3D Color Matrix Metering calculates the optimum exposure value by comparing the brightness and color data, along with subject-to-camera distance, with a reference to a database of real photography. Use of a database distinguishes this meter from typical multi-segment meters. TTL White Balance evaluates color temperature and makes fine adjustments to the predetermined value, automatically achieving proper white balance. TTL White Balance, in conjunction with 3D Color Matrix Metering, adds significantly to the total image quality of the D1X.

Nikon D1X
I have own the D1X for 6months now. The one issue some have is the older tech. batteries. Personally I didn't bother with the Nikon batteries but have bought the batteries from BatteryBarn. Great price, service and warranties.
Image quality is fantastic with the colors and rendering as close to film like (Velvia) as anything I've seen.
I use Nikkor 17-35f/2.8, 28-70f/2.8, 70-200f/2.8, 85f/1.4, 50f1.4 and they all do fine.
I regularly make A3 (13X19) prints which are beautiful and wouldn't hesitate going much larger.
One thing. Viewing an image on the LCD will make you feel like the shot is garbage but trust your abilities and the D1x as when opened up they are simply stunning.
Focus is fast and accurate with any lens, AF-S or screw. The meter is very accurate.
These may be of an older generation but those of us that use them love them.

BEWARE ABOVE RECOMMENDATION!
Do a google search on ROYAL CAMERA COMPLAINTS and you will see that they are a scammy outfit! I ONLY buy from AMAZON and who AMAZON recommends (like Adorama! B&H! etc!) oh and this camera is a FABULOUS camera to use - a bit of a learning curve but wonderful results!
