Advantages: Everthing in one camera

Disadvantages: Cost ( for the time being, anyway )

Early in 2000 Nikon introduced the D1 digital camera and the world of professional digicams would never be the same. Before the D1 came on the scene only working photojournalists or the rich and famous could afford the benefits of a high performance SLR digital camera.

Fuji Photo Film now makes it more affordable than ever to get into professional digital photography by merging Fujifilm's Super CCD image sensor technology with Nikon's N60 SLR camera to create the FinePix S1 Pro. This camera uses a Nikon F lens mount so photographers with a substantial investment in Nikkor lenses can make the move to digital as economically as possible.

A shrewd move by Fuji ( how many commercial photo journalists already have NIKON lenses in their bag, eh ?)

The S1 Pro will be available by the end of August 2000, but as a dealer myself, i have found there to be a long waiting list. A strong alternative to the Niokn D1.
