After the adventure of the six Fujix DS ... with Nikon from 1994 to 1998
Fujifilm tries the adventure alone this time using the Nikon F60 / N60 body for its FinePix S1
With its brand new sensor (The SuperCCD) Fuji was in direct competition with the Canon D30 and its CMOS
Canon's replica (facing the Nikon D1) arrived a year later with the D30
A much smaller body than the Nikon D1
With a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor
which allowed Canon to minimize the cost of manufacturing a large CCD sensor
A small box, very endearing and pleasant to use with a more than reasonable size.
The first "affordable" reflex to emerge
It was the release of the famous Canon EOS-300D in 2003 and the fall in prices that followed
That I was able to buy the Olympus E-10 for almost peanuts
Between 1999 and 2001
Kodak used the beautiful Nikon F5 as the basis for the DCS 600 and 700 series
DCS 760 enters market as direct competitor to Nikon's new 5.47-megapixel D1x
Kodak has cut prices dramatically. Under pressure from sales of the Nikon D1
The Kodak DCS 760 is sold 1/3 of the asking price for the DCS 660 in 1999 !!
