While many early adopters had issues with the D1 series in these three areas, the D erases those problems and gives us the digital-centric abilities we wanted. It also features a four-channel ADC to move data off the sensor faster than before. The benefits: increased resolution, faster shooting speeds, and better image quality.
Gone is the simpler EN-EL3 battery. The benefits: precise readings of battery charge, exact end-of- life prediction, less likelihood of cell imbalance shortening the battery life. Surprisingly for the price, Nikon went all out to optimize the D series for action. The D figures are in the same league as the venerable F, a camera well-regarded by professionals.
Unlike the D1 series, D50, and D70 series, the D uses an all-mechanical shutter, though it 23 Intelligent refers to the fact that the battery can be queried for its exact status.
The benefits: even at 5fps you can usually follow action in the viewfinder, and the camera overall feels as responsive as any prior Nikon SLR other than the D2 models. The CAM module used in the D provides remarkable coverage of the frame with 11 focus sensor positions in the viewfinder 7 when Wide Angle Autofocus is used.
Unfortunately, this new sensor design is arrayed differently than any other Nikon body, so requires study. The good news is that it is more sophisticated and customizable than the simple CAM system used in the D With the additional sensors have come new autofocus methods, including the ability to pick a group of sensors for focus.
The benefits: more control over the autofocus system, and better performance. The D gets the pixel CCD for matrix metering and white balance that first appeared in the D1 series and F5 , which is more sophisticated and precise than the simpler matrix meter used in the D Nikon is also using this metering part for more functions in the D and has revised the metering algorithms slightly. For example, flash sensing is done with the pixel CCD instead of a dedicated part in the mirror box, as it was in the D and older Nikon bodies.
For matrix metering, the D now uses a scene database of about , patterns compared to the earlier models using 30, The benefits: better flash performance, more accurate matrix metering. Speaking of flash, the new i-TTL system has added capabilities while improving exposure accuracy. By using the pixel CCD to measure flash, V1. The benefits: more accurate flash exposures and more flash options, especially for users of multiple flashes.
With the D2 series, this cycle has dropped to three years, yet many of the changes are more dramatic than ever before. My analysis shows the opposite: Nikon is moving faster than ever and leaving no stone unturned. Would I have liked more resolution than Yes, it would be nice to get to about 16mp for some additional cropping flexibility. But frankly, megapixel count is generally overvalued by many. In the V1. Sensors all work in basically the same way: they have light collection areas, called photosites, which are sensitive to light photons.
CMOS is likely the long-term winner in the sensor wars. While it is more difficult to design especially for high speed transfers, as are used in the Nikon D2 and Canon 1D series , the manufacturing costs are much lower. You can also design more electronics into the sensor itself. CMOS is also somewhat more difficult to engineer, since it allows photosite- level electronics and the external circuitry addresses each photosite individually.
