Hi, The sensor in the D200 and the D80 is the same base unit used in the D1, D1H and D1X bodies. So, it isn't just a CCD I was after, it was the fourth iteration of that specific CCD I want to mess with. Plus, it may well get my wife into this whole hobby. The D1 sensor was a 10 MP unit, but the sig...

Hi,

Sure. But, I have no idea what that board you mentioned is. It does sound like a fun project, though.

Hi,

Now, this sounds like a fun project!

Hi, OK, time to try again. Just won a D80 with an 18-135mm lens and goodies for $160 USD. So, we shall see if my wife likes this one when it gets here. Plus, I get to see just what the guys at Sony had manged to make that original DSLR CCD design do in the end. Next up: dig up an AFS 80-200 f2.8D zo...

Hi, Well, the D1H works just fine. Took me a few minutes to recall just how it operated. It has been awhile. I was wrong about my flash unit. It is an SB28d, not a dx. For the F5 based 760. Makes sense. I probably won't use the D1H with a flash anyway. The original thought was for my wife. I rarely ...

Hi, Well, the best laid plans and all that. The D1H came to the screenprinting shop today. It'll have to wait until I get home to check it out, but my wife doesn't like it because it is too large a body. So, cancel out looking for a D1X for her. I am now looking for a D80. I did finally manage to fi...

Hi, Yes, I don't think I will have to wait long before I spot the D1X I want. I have already decided to couple the D1H to an AFS 80-200 f2.8D lens and use it at the road courses like I used to. More on that later. What prompted all this is we finally bought a Direct-To-Garment printer for the screen...

Hi,

So, most of the D1X units out there right now are being offered by camera shops. They take pics of the units, but not one of them includes even one pic taken with the thing. They just say 'it works'. It seems only individuals figure buyers might want to see how the imager is working.

Hi, Well, I found a decent seeming D1H on The Bay. At least it had a couple sample shots, unlike most of those up for sale. It was a straight auction, so I had to wait it out. Got it for $66 USD. Not bad! We'll see how it works out when it gets here in a few days. Actually, I want the D1H more for m...

Hi, Nope. Not Doug MacA. Just little old me, Stan. :P I have been out of cams discussed in this forum for a while now. All I have left is a Kodak 760C, and that is the other forum, and not much to say about it other than I still like the F5 body and the Kodachrome colors. My wife is tiring of digica...

Hi, Cool! I also made quite a few of what I call 'skunk works' things for the US Govt during my days at IBM and, later, at Ericsson. Those are always interesting items. Back in the 1996 timeframe, when I was at Ericsson, I was involved in making a special version of our MPA public safety handheld 2-...

Hi,

I ought to add that Sony had this wonderful stable of sensors at that time. So, it was really easy for us Ericsson guys to go nuts putting cameras into phones.

Stan

Hi, This cam was the reason cams were put into cellphones. Really! I used one of these Nikons as part of my documentation process for Returned Product Failure Analysis at Ericsson. I used to carry it in the case they supplied with it, attached to my belt. At the time, we had just come out with the T...

Hi, Yes, that is the one I thought it might be. The D1 prototype is a actually the E1. They decided to use E for Electronic as opposed to D for Digital when they redesigned to the E2. Much later, they did a major redesign to a larger sensor and removed the optics - and every other part used in the e...

Hi, For some reason, the photo of the D1 you are asking about doesn't seem to be there with two different browsers and devices. So, I am unsure what it is. I know there was a D1 which preceeded the E2. They decided to change from D to E with the second pass design. Later on, after the E3, they decid...
