I love the durability, I love the weight, I love the tank-like build quality! The photo quality is excellent, even when compared to cameras a generation ahead, like my D200. It has superior image quality to the D70, in my opinion, but the D70/D70s are a bit better in terms of handling and usage because of the better flash control (iTTL) and battery (NiMH vs LiIon). I do not like the Nickel Metal Hydride batteries Nikon chose to use in this camera... they're big, bulky, and only last about 300-600 shots on a charge in 50-70 degrees F. Hotter or colder temperatures will shorten the lifespan considerably. I recommend buying 3rd party batteries instead of Nikon ones because they're exactly the same and the 3rd party batteries are truly new, versus the Nikon ones which have likely sat on shelves for years. A DIY project for this camera exists for converting the battery packs to Lithium Ion, but it's not for those without intimate knowledge of working with Lithium battery technology. I don't advise this unless you REALLY know what you're doing! I decided to buy this camera because I value build quality, ruggedness, and the special features this camera offers over cameras of today. UPDATE: As of 2012, I don't recommend this camera if you can get a D70, D80, D90, or anything D200 or above. All of these cameras are technically superior to the D1X in most aspects. That being said, this camera is still magnificent given its limitations. If you can work with the difficult DTTL flash system and the limit of 2GB memory cards, this is still a great camera. If you see one for $100-200 and you want to experience a true professional body, this is a great choice. If you have the choice of a D2H, D2X, or D200/D300, I recommend these instead. There are some problem with cameras this old. One problem is the shutter--it's old and there probably aren't any D1X bodies out there with less than 50,000 shutter actuations. There have been F5 cameras reported with shutter counts over one million, and the D1x is based on that wonderful camera--it even has the same mirror box, which is why it looks so different from today's DX DSLR cameras. With a shutter this old and used, you may need to replace it, which costs about $400. Another problem is how hard it is to find these with the rubber parts in good condition. It's an old camera and rubber wears out. Good luck on that one, though it is replaceable. The last problem I see with this camera in 2012 is that there are technically superior cameras for not much more money than some of these sell for. $500 is better spent on a D3100 or a used D90 rather than this beast, unless you have a specific need for it. I hope this review helps someone in making their decision! Just remember just because something is old doesn't mean it's not just as good as the day it was released!Vollständige Rezension lesen
I bought my first Nikon D1 here on Ebay in late 2003. After a few years, internal issues had me looking for it's replacement. Of course the D2's were out and the D3 had just come along, but I had heavily invested in the D1 family and went looking a a D1x to replace my dying D1. Other than some control and setting differences, I readily adjusted to my D1x and kept right on going. I know this body uses the DX sensor but I learned to shoot using a N4004s film body and full frame(FX) film glass. I don't any DX lenses, only FX glass and only one with AFS Silent Wave Motor. The instant 1.5 Magnification due to the DX sensor makes shooting wide a challenge but helps on the long end when shooting telephoto. I have even used some Albinar and Vivitar lenses with this body from my dad's Nikkomat FTn. Get the Thom Hogan book and B. Moose Peterson book on this body, great references. Works with any Nikkor MF or AF lense produced since the late '70s. I would get this PROFESSIONAL body over the current entry level consumer SLRs offered by Nikon. Batteries and CF cards may be the only hinderence with this body, but a DIY or Hobbiest with electronics and mechanical background can work around that.Vollständige Rezension lesen
The Nikon D1x has much of the _essential_ functionality of more modern Nikon Digital SLRs but as these newer models seduce working photographers with more megapixels, faster response, slightly higher sensitivity, better firmware and bragging rights, the D1x price has dropped into the bargain range on eBay. Frankly, the 5 MP resolution of the D1x is adequate for most of the photography I do. I've also used a Nikon D2x and D3 and honestly, unless I'm very careful during picture taking, it's hard to see the difference in the printed or on-screen results. The camera I bought was definitely a "user," having been engraved all-over by the previous professional owner and having a resolvable problem with white balance, both issues honestly described in the listing by the seller. If you decide to go with the D1x be careful shopping for after-market batteries. The D2 and D3 series use a similarly shaped but incompatible battery. There are some battery auctions stating that the item is for D1, D2 and D3, which is not possible. Also remember that you'll also need a battery charger, which is not inexpensive. Bottom line: I found a bargain Nikon D1x on eBay which is working great for me. "Forward into the past..."Vollständige Rezension lesen
I picked up mine as a backup camera, but mostly out of sheer impulse. I like massive cameras and I like finding out how much one can get out of outdated technology, so I picked it up for super cheap on here and decided to find out. Full disclosure: I had already played around with a D1 I picked up in a thrift store (lol), but it was slightly broken so I sold it for parts. People can blabber on all they want about megapixels, full frame, etc. Yes those things are great... however, if you're looking for a camera that'll be a dependable backup, take a beating, not make terribly big prints, learn photography with, or just to play around, this camera is an excellent candidate. The feel of this camera is solid! It feels good in the hands, it turns on with a mighty "click" sound, the autofocus is spectacular (even by today's standards), and when adjusted correctly with good glass it can take some very good photos! I like the idea that I only have to worry about scratching/breaking my lens when I'm toting it around. I throw it in my bag without any protection and it can take all the normal beating and it'll still function/be fine. It's also nice and weather-proof - I don't worry about it when it starts snowing/raining (again, just worried about my lenses). Some cons: - battery life is deplorable, even with new batteries - CUSTOM SETTINGS! These are an annoying product of 90s/early 00s electronic SLR technology - when they're set no problem, but its a pain to alter them if you have to - White balance is a little difficult - do not use Auto as it will never get it right, and even after using the appropriate one there will still be some fine-tuning to do in Lightroom - Don't bother with sharpening in-camera, or shooting in JPG - waste of time. Shoot in RAW and do post-sharpening in Lightroom - the files are small enough to where RAW importing is quick (this goes for all pre-D200 DSLRs) Again, if you're looking for something cheap, tough or backup worthy, OR if you're looking for a great camera to learn about photography, this is a GREAT camera. I look forward to hanging onto mine for a good long while (heck, it'll probably be worth $50 in a year, might as well keep until it disintegrates)Vollständige Rezension lesen
This is the best kept secret in digital photography. Yes, I love my D7000, but at approximately 1/3 the resolution, pound for pound, dollar for dollar, this beast delivers. The color and texture of the images seems to be a bit different then anything else I have ever shot and much closer to film then current digital cameras. I have a Nikon 18-200 VR lens that was just OK on my other Nikon DSLRs. On the D1x, the lens shines. I can only explain this because the resolution is lower and the glass of this 10X zoom does not have to work as hard to achieve very sharp and detailed images with excellent contrast and color. Finally, the battery can be an issue (as others have discussed). Get the Lenmar 3rd party battery. I bought 2 at less then $25.00 each. I actually shot 600 exposures on Memorial Day on one battery. The battery icon showed that it was full, so unlike the Nikon battery that seems to handle about 200 exposures per charge, the Lenmar is an exceptional bargain and a must have. Keep in mind that this camera has a very small and low resolution LCD so review is very limited. Also, unlike most modern cameras, the D1x does not have a self cleaning sensor. You have to buy the auxillary power unit to use the cleaning mode (about $40 on ebay) and I highly recommend the Opteka SSC-20 sensor swabs. It does and great job and is easy to use. If you really love photography and cameras. If you are not planning on doing a lot of cropping. If you do not shoot sports. If you do not plan on printing larger then approx 13X19 (although that may be a bit of a stretch), then this is your camera (especially if you want a camera that is built like a tank). You really have to see the images to appreciate why this camera is something unique and special. I have thought about a D2x, but I prefer the images coming out of the D1x.Vollständige Rezension lesen
