Fuji rattle the sabre in the Professional Digital Camera market (and pro-sumer too) with this blockbusting 6.13 megapixel (3040 x 2016 - oh yes) professional SLR with a D1-killing street price of US$4,000. Kodak DCS560 / 660 anyone? Best of all that CCD is HUGE.. 1.1" (APS size).
Vitals: 6.13 Megapixels, accepts Nikon F-mount lenses, ISO: 320-1600, CF Type II & SmartMedia, Est. Street Price: US$4000, on-sale: June, 2000 (Japan).
UPDATED: Impress PC Watch post coverage of the Fujifilm Japan Launch of these cameras
UPDATED: Camera is based on Nikon N60 / F60D (so let me get this straight, Nikon are supplying Fuji with camera bodies to build a digital camera which undercuts the D1... ummm) Even the N60 specifications read back to back.
