The Nikon D1X digital camera will all but make film obsolete for the vast majority of professional and serious photographers. The kit includes the camera body, battery, charger, FireWire cable, and browser software, but not the lens, strobe light,...

Overall, I am very pleased with the latest effort from Nikon. It will only be a matter of time before the quality of digital images equal and even surpass the quality of film emulsions. The main drawback, that of the archiving of images for future use,...
