The first pure-bred Nikon DSLR. Prior to the D1, the only digital Nikons were the half Nikon, half Kodak Frankencameras of the 90's. While the D1 is about a basic as a DSLR gets, it can still produce high quality images. The only real drawbacks being it only saves images in the NTSC color space, and the NiMH battery doesn't hold a charge very long, even when new. Thankfully, there is a company, by the name of Watson, that makes a copy of the EN-4 battery, for the D1 series. I've used them, and they work well.

I couldn't afford one of these ten years ago, but I sure wanted one bad. No, it's not the latest or greatest by no means, but it's built like a rock and unless you are shooting for prints larger than 8 x 10, this is a deal! They are all over Ebay for a hundred bucks or less. I paid $94 for mine and got a battery, battery charger, strap, body cap and a MC-30 remote. The accessories alone were worth the purchase price, plus I got a backup body to boot! For a studio camera, or a starter camera in digital photography you can't beat it. The real reason to own a Nikon body, is the chance to shoot with a Nikon lens. Once the shutter is open, the quality of any image is totally dependent on the glass that is in front of it. People who spend thousands on a Nikon SLR and allow the salesperson to sell them a cheap, third party lens is the same as buying a Corvette or a Ferrari with a four-cylinder engine. Sure, there's critics who will tell you to steer clear of this particular camera, but unless you've got mega-bucks to spend for what they are selling for now, this would be a good one to learn on. I've been a professional photographer for over 35 years now, I endured the hype of high speed film for years knowing that people who bought all of those rolls of 1600 ASA/ISO and went out and shot with a flash or, in daylight were very disappointed in the results when they got their prints back. Now it's all hype about megapixels, full frame vs. crop, CCD vs. CMOS. It's marketing folks, a great photo can indeed be enhanced by fancy gear and software but, a real photograph begins with the eye of the photographer who can achieve the satisfaction of a great image with any kind of camera. Learn to "see" the photograph before you ever push the button, then you will truly appreciate your work in the end.Read full review

I have used the Nikon D1 for long time. This camera has a strong body, and works fine for me with many type of ED lends of NIKON. One issue on D1 is the battery life, which is easy spoil in short time.
