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.
Bullet points:
- 6.13 megapixel, 1.1" (APS sized) Fuji SuperCCD
(3040 x 2016)
- Accepts Nikon F-mount lenses (1.5x focal length multiplier)
supports AF, AI-P, IX cannot be used
