Something to make you smile

The nikon was made by nikon themselves as the first pro dslr made by a brand manufacturer.

The camera you're showing wasnt made by canon but by kodak. They were usign nikons before that:

"The original Kodak DCS was launched in 1991, and was based around a stock Nikon F3 SLR with digital components. It used a 1.3 megapixel Kodak KAF-1300 sensor, and a separate shoulder-mounted processing and storage unit."

Buying a Nikon doesn't make you a photographer, it makes you a Nikon owner.
