Fantastic Four (2002) 😁

2002 is a fantastic year, where we find for the first time, four DSLRs with four sensors of different technology.

The Canon EOS D60 (2002) 6.3 MP $2,200.00 USD with a CMOS sensor
The Nikon D100 (2002) 6.3 MP $2,400.00 USD with a CCD sensor
The Fujifilm FinePix S2 Pro (2002) 6.17 MP $2,700.00 USD with a Super CCD sensor
And finally the Sigma SD-9 (2002) 3.4 MP $1,800.00 USD with a Foveon X3 sensor

What more could you ask for!

11.1 MP sensor (4064 x 2704)

In my eyes, the 11.1 MP of the Canon had more impact in 2002 than the 100 MP of today

Canon EOS-300D / Digital Rebel by Marc Aubry, sur Flickr

In 2003 we were looking at the latest DSLR releases that hovered around $2,000
And suddenly Canon releases a $1,000 US Digital Rebel !!
It's the panic of the small world of digital photography, and everyone is starting to readjust their prices.
It's the golden age for photographers like me, who were waiting.
And between 2003 and 2005, a total reversal of the situation, where film cameras almost completely disappeared.

Hi,

If you were lucky enough to have a working sensor....

Edit: This was supposed to pick up Jim's comment on the 14n aliasing. My idea was you were lucky if you got aliasing and didn't have a faulty sensor. The quote got lost....

Stan

For what! Have you had problems in particular with the sensor of the Canon Rebel?

Hi,

Kodak 14n I was what I was referring to with the sensor issues. Flat view seems to have made things confusing as flat view is won't to do. ;)

Ok, I understand better now 😁
