    At the beginning of 2000, the Nikonists were particularly pampered.
    In addition to the many Kodak DCS of the time, they had a choice between the new Nikon D1 and the smaller Fujifilm FinePix S1 Pro.

    I've made a comparison between the two, right here: www.flickr.com/photos/maoby/albums/72177720311063225

    It reminds me of the reason, why I didn't buy one of these cameras when they came out 😌
