Was actually looking for D2X but came across this wonderful example of D1X and picked it up on Ebay UK for 169 pounds only about two months ago. A very skilled and keen private photographer had taken well care of this camera and it came with all original boxing etc... I did not expect more than another nice old Nikon object for my collection - but after trying it out I discovered that this almost vintage digital pro body takes really good pictures. Furthermore one can use almost any old lense just as well as the film camera F4 is able to. having a number of really good pre-AI, AI ans AI-s lenses it was really nice to try them out on a digital body with good results. We have all become so used to shoot and watch the result on PC even within minutes. With F2S and F4 the wait to have film processed and scanned with varying result can sometime be too much. My normal picture making is made on D300S, D90 and/or D80 as it fits the purpose so I became digitalized years ago. D1X delivers color better than all and it is a treat to handle the body in every way. Battery time is low compared to D300S and D90 - but I do not use D1X as primary body. I can only recommend a good condition D1X as extra digital pro line body with hardly no investment. Enjoy...Read full review
This camera has all the functions to take photo's beyond just Program mode. It's a little on the heavy side for most people and you will need large hands to hold the grip. For an old camera this still produces the goods. But you must know something about photography. Have plenty of the battery packs, as they get older so does the charge become less and less. I bought this camera, as an entry level Pro DSLR. If you have the money and don't like a big heavy camera then don't buy this. It's for the NIKON user who LOVES Nikon. The megapixel rating is low by today's standards, and I wouldn't use it for professional "paying" events because of this. I love Nikon, and will go from this camera to the D3, if and when I start using my photo skills to make a living. Right now it's just a camera to have some FUN with. And look Professional.Read full review
Brought D1X as it fitted my budget. I had been given good reports and I thought I would give it a try. I have only had it for a short while so I have not really tested it to full capacity. As I say the "price was right " for that type of camera. I would recommend to a friend if they wanted the same as me otherwise providing that had the funds I would advise them to get the D2X.
