It is the first digital camera that could really replace a 35 mm silver device for many professional photographers, especially for journalism and sport. The case is tropicalized, ideal for climatic environment constraints.

The Nikon D1 is a digital reflex camera made by Nikon. Launched on June 15, 1999, it is the first digital reflex device designed entirely by a large manufacturer.

It incorporates a 2.7 megapixel sensor in Nikon DX format, a burst mode at 4.5 images per second and accepts the Nikkor objectives line at F. The case strongly resembles the F5 and has practically the same arrangement of checks , allowing users of nikon mono-objective silver cameras to be quickly productive.
