Nikon's retro DSLR launches and it looks good

I can't believe that we pretty much agree. ;-p The scanning backs are also good for some landscape photography, where wind is not a factor. IIRC A few months before the Nikon D1 came out, some now defunct company called Kodak, was making a digital back for the Nikon F3. I was told the cost would be between 8 @ 15 k depending on the ISO sensitivity I wanted. Oh yes, it would have almost 1 million pixels. -- PeterN |

Kodak's "ship" was a submarine, and it has now resurfaced. the problem is that nobody wants submarines anymore. kodak was king of film but film is for all intents, dead. they may have pioneered digital and had the first dslrs, but they weren't a market leader, which is why they went bankrupt. their digital cameras were crap. |
