Buy Cheap D1X

Nikon D1X dslr Review

I take a look at a new toy of mine.. the Nikon D1X. Keep in mind that this camera was release in 2001 so therefore is quite aged compared to today ...

is the Nikon d70 better than the Nikon D1x?

Dec 03, 2008 by MPphotography | Posted in Cameras

im planning on buying the D1x, because my D70 broke. should I? is the D1x better?

There's not much between them if you look at the specs. The D1X was a professional body in 2001 but by the time the D70 was released in 2004, all of this technology had already trickeled down to the entry level segment. Here's a side-by-side: http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/compare_post.asp?method=sidebyside&cameras=nikon_d1x%2Cnikon_d70&show=all
Personally, I wouldn't want to drag around the considerable bulk and weight of a D1X for such humble features.
How about a used D80? That would be a minor upgrade. A used D200 would be a bigger upgrade.

I have the opportunity to get a nikon d1x?

I can get it for under 400 bucks, but it's quite old ( 2001) has 6 megapixels, and I'm not sure If I should buy it, ohh it's the camera only too, no lenses, but it retailed new at 5000 or so bucks. do you think its a good deal?.

sorry if you saw this question posted under visual arts-- it's important I get some opinions quickly

It was the Pro camera in 2001, so it is sturdy and has very good handling. Here is a review for that camera, and it sells for $500 at Amazon:

Here is the manual for the Nikon D1x.

I think the older digital cameras, the images on ISO 800 and above tend to be noisy. That is the disadvantage of the older models. The newer cameras, like the D40, D80 and D60 has better low light image capability. If you are not going to take a lot of high ISO pictures, then you are going to like the D1x, otherwise, get a non pro D40, D60 or D80.

I already own a flash too, and not having a pop up is irrelevant

you shouldn't get this camera, it's like a dinosaur, this camera has been off the shelves for years now, and any chance of warranty has expired, so you're left in the dust, so anything that happens to the camera now will all be on you, and they might not have the parts which would be used to fix the camera, because it's become some-what obsolete.

also, you could get more for the price, although this was a professional camera, digital cameras were just coming around in those days, and the images aren't going to be as good as you can get from today's cameras.

you can just save a little more, and then get a nikon d40 or save more, and then get a d60. However, you really shouldn't get this camera, although they corrected the color problem from the D1, the images still aren't what you can get today, you really should get a more up-to-date camera, it's just what you should do, because you have the warranty, it wouldn't make sense to waste that money.

another thing to check for is that they offer images of the camera, so you can see that there's no dents or real bad blows to the camera, it's not going to be in tip-top condition. you might be able to find one new, but it would be thousands of dollars, because it would be really rare.

i have a nikon d1x and d1h....print size?

Dec 09, 2008 by byedavidml | Posted in Cameras

a relative gave me both of these cameras as a gift and i was wondering what is the MAX print size i can make with the d1x (5.3 megapixels i think) and the d1h(2.7 mega pixels)
i fell that the d1x will be able to produce a decent size print but i am not to sure about the d1h...

will the d1h be good enough for my college photojournalism class?


thank you in advance for the help

The will be just fine for your class.

The largest prints we made for newspapers were 5x7 inch. Your Nikon's can print up to 11x14 easily.

The first Kodak DSLR's had 2 mp sensors and no one complained.

The increased speed which images could be transmitted to the photo editor at the paper was what counted. Processing a roll of film with a quick wash and using alcohol to "dry" it and then printing it "wet", drying the print with a hair dryer before panafaxing it to the paper was it strong point. Besides, shooting using Tri-X at 1200 ASA produced images about on par with the 2 mp sensors of the time

d1x and d100 help who what when why how

Aug 01, 2008 by Paul S | Posted in Cameras

I wanted to know wich ones better i was thinking sence im a beginer i need to learn manual controls i wanted to get something cheap but good so i looked i saw a d200 for 900 so i can get that and like a 50 mm lens and thats it but i can get a d100 for 400 and a d1x with buffer upgrade for 550 and with the d100 and d1x i can get a couple sb 50dx flashes and a couple lens and case tripod hood strap well so i want the pro feel and setting like in the d1x but if the d100 is better then i have no idea help?
well to be honest asking to go to another brand is like asking to cheat i mean sure id like to feel the power of the canon 21.1 mp's but i would never also all the newer models like the d40 d40x and d60 dont take the lenses and well i dont have the money to buy all the ones that fit on it

You Should Get The D1x

It was actually a professional camera in it's day. The other two cameras are mid-range cameras, however they aren't professional cameras. So, you should definitely get the d1x, it's a professional camera, and you'll learn the manual controls, and get some nice photos, and you'll look really professional.

Also, as a second option, i would suggest the d200, because you can still get it brand new, and don't have to worry about warranty, so this would also be a nice option. Do you have any more questions?

Feel free to email me, i'd love to help you choose

Nikon D1X Questions?

Jul 12, 2008 by chromecranium | Posted in Cameras

I tried looking online and on Flickr for photos taken using the Nikon D1x. I know there are a lot on there, but most are small or don't show the full capability of the camera. I know that at the time the camera was top of the line, so mostly pros bought it. I guess that's why there aren't a ton of photos from the camera, I guess a lot of photos that pros are taking with the camera are for a business so can't be shown on Flickr.

So here's my question - Could you please show me pictures from the camera? I would prefer large/fine JPEGs or Large, RAW images turned into JPGs, if possible. I've all ready looked at most of the review sites for sample images, so please don't link to those.

From what I've seen a lot of the images from the D1x don't seem very sharp. Is this just because all I saw were crappy photos or because the camera naturally takes photos that aren't perfectly sharp. If they are naturally not quite sharp can you correct this by bumping up the sharpness?

If someone took a less than sharp image with D1x it was because they intended to or they were using a crappy lens. It had nothing to do with the quality of the camera itself.

I used a D1x once. And the results were excellent.

Sorry I can't show them to you. They are nudes, done under a private contract.

Why does my Nikon D1x have an audible click noise as I turn to the ON position?

Jun 06, 2008 by RuthieGirl1121 | Posted in Cameras

When I activate the ON switch of my Nikon D1X I can hear a definate "click" sound. This only happens when the camera is being powered by the battery. When there is no battery, there is no clicking sound. Also, when I tried it using the AC adapter, there was no click sound - just silent. I purchased this camera "used" as a back-up to my other D1X. It seems to take the pictures without problems and none of the other operations are affected. Has anyone had experience with this problem and could it serious or become an expensive repair down the road?

I doubt this is an issue with your camera. It might be an issue with your battery being old and not producing/holding enough voltage.

Try a new, fully charged battery.

Question about my new Nikon D1X Pro Digital SLR ???

Mar 05, 2008 by Amateur Wedding Photographer | Posted in Photography

I can't find where to put the film in, can you help ?

While I'm at it , does this shoe-phone make my bum look big?

Now that I have a good camera, I'm going to be a perfeshunal fotographer,once I find out how to get the film into it, so what should I charge ? Is $12,000 for a wedding unreasonable?

I read on an earlier question that a bullet proof vest is standard equipment. Will the Control issue vest do ?
It has a few moth holes.
PS
I insist that all answers be given under the cone of silence!
Captsnuf, could you please laugh more quietly, you're breaking my eardrums in here!
Lidybeff

AND LOVING IT !

No film required it is pre-loaded, when it gets full drop it off at Costco and buy another one.

A rather odd comparison between two DSLRs?

Mar 11, 2009 by Gheorghe L | Posted in Cameras

I would like somebody experienced in DSLRs to make a side-by-side comparison between the old 6000$ Nikon D1X launched in 2001 and the Olympus E-410 from 2007. Making abstraction of their very different price tags and release years, how do they compare performance and feature-wise. Most serious answerer will get "Best Answer" and 5 stars.

Help, please urgent professional help required?

Jul 16, 2007 by Antoni | Posted in Photography

I noticed work has dried up the phone hadnt rung because i hadnt paid the bill. I hired a consultant who charged me $200 to tell me to, stop spending 12 hours a day on answers, wash my hair and body at least once a week, stop spilling Martini on my D200 and D1x's and stop texting my clients that i want to photograph their daughters when im drunk?

My question is two fold

1. is he just being picky

2. wot else can i do

Okay, assuming you are joking, pretty funny. Though pretty close to home, my husband is addicted and I find him on Answers between sessions.

If not joking you got great advise and very cheaply if he only charges $200!

Not go take a shower.
