Preview of E2s in Amateur Photographer

Post by precertvideo »

I recieved in the post today a preview of the Nikon E2s from Amateur Photographer 27 Apr 1996. Unfortunately it's only 2 pages, but is quite informative and has a few facts that I didn't know, eg:

-Exposure comp +/-2 in 1/4 stop steps (as opposed to 1/3)
-VF coverage: 98%
-15Mb memory card price: £1,092.75
-PCMCIA card reader price: £746.13
-Battery & PSU price: £552.25 (extra batteries £80 each)
-Quality (compression): Hi (none), Fine (1/4), Normal (1/8), Basic (1/16)
-"Resolution" (whatever that means): "700 Horizontal by 600 lines vertical" (This could be the video output)

And some that I did know:

-Price: £13,348 inc. 17.5% VAT
-ISO equivalent to 800 or 1600
-Weight: 1.85 Kg

They promise a thorough test, but the site I got the reprint from don't offer it.

When I can get to an A4 scanner I will post it somewhere for download-in the meantime you can get your own here http://www.testreports.co.uk/photography/ap/
