Hi, Oh, OK. That means I'm misreading the 'c' at the end of the model number wrongly, then. I figured that there were two models: a QV-1000 (B&W) and a QV-1000c (color)..... I know that there were plenty of color CCDs around by the time Nikon came out with the thing. I recall servicing CCD equip...

Hi, Then, too, we have to think about how many of the QV-1000 units were B&W and how many were color. The guy that had the QV at The Glen was shooting for a motorsports weekly newpaper, and his was monochrome. We talked for a few minutes about how one day these electronic still cameras would win...

Hi, Cool! Seeing the pix of the thing reminds me of a weekend at Watkins Glen back in 1990. I ran across someone actually using one of the monochrome versions of the QV-1000 and thought it was pretty darned neat. I especially liked the way that Nikon had produced a proper system around that small CC...

The E3 would have been easier to work with. The other point of note is how BIG the view through the E3 finder is compared with the D1x and D1. Hi, Yes, I can see where the E3 would have been the tool that best matched that particular job. Of course, I use my E2 for exactly the same purpose - images...

Hi, I'll have to see if my E2 meter works with AI'd lenses or not, in case we have an additional difference between the E2 and E3 here. I have several AI'd lenses, and have used them with the E2 before, but never noticed if the meter was active or not. I use the E2 in a studio setting, and use an ex...

Hi, Oh! You meant the eBay bidder 'nikonf' when you said 'old-timer'. I don't feel so bad now. :) Actually, I suppose anyone that got into digital SLRs before the D1 qualifies as a 'digital old-timer', eh? The D1 is sort of like the original F, and the stuff that came before is more like the old ran...

Hi, Old timer? You mean me? Sigh. I hope not, although I suppose that *does* sort of fit. That's the problem with getting started in photography at age 12 (and in the darkroom to boot). I'm now 44, so that means that I've been at this for 32 years. Double sigh!! You know, it's funny how we always th...

Hi, Yes, Jarle has a way of convincing us that these things are now collectable. All along, I just saw my poor old E2 as, well, a poor old E2! :P I used the E2 because I had found a decent job for it to do. Heck, I had paid good money for it, and so I figured that I should get some use out of it. No...

Hi, Yep. Looks like that makes more sense since Fuji has grouped the 'non-A' units on one page and the '-A' units on another. The other list that I was looking at listed them in order: DS-505 DS-505a DS-515 DS-515a DS-560 DS-565 With these two pages from Fuji's site, I have to conclude that someone ...

Re: Nikon vs Fuji model numbers

Nikon E2s = Fuji DS-505a Hi Stan, Are you sure about this one? Jarle Hi, Yes. I'm quite sure that the list is correct now. I just ran a search on Fuji's website and they list the the DS-505, DS-505a, DS-515, DS-515a, DS-560 and DS-565 as their four model numbers. These would correspond to Nikon's E...

Hi, Yes, testing all cards with all cameras is probably the only practical way to know what will work and what will not these days. We have to keep in mind that the memory cards are, and have always been, constantly evolving. So, the developers of the devices that use them have had to constantly mod...

Hi, When I first considered getting into digital in 1999, I was immediately drawn to the Nikon D1. Heck, at that point in time, who wouldn't be? However, the $5000 USD price tag was a bit much for a hobbiest, I felt, so I looked elsewhere for my first DSLR. As everyone knows by now, that first DSLR ...

The E3 arrived.....I "think" that the "F-Stop/ISO equivalent" is some game played by Nikon to account for the ROS.....The Circles of Confusion for DOF also shrink, so the relative "F-Stop" to compute DOF changes. My head hurts thinking about it.....I plan on trying a f...

Re: Digital back

Yes, please! (and make one for my old F4 as well, while you're at it). Hi, Well, maybe we could scrounge up a cheap F4 and a cheap SLR/n and figure out a way to repackage the SLR/n guts onto the F4...... I have this feeling that using a 560/660/760 would be easier, but maybe that's simply due to th...
