Nikon D1X Questions?

Question

I tried looking online and on Flickr for photos taken using the Nikon D1x. I know there are a lot on there, but most are small or don't show the full capability of the camera. I know that at the time the camera was top of the line, so mostly pros bought it. I guess that's why there aren't a ton of photos from the camera, I guess a lot of photos that pros are taking with the camera are for a business so can't be shown on Flickr.

So here's my question - Could you please show me pictures from the camera? I would prefer large/fine JPEGs or Large, RAW images turned into JPGs, if possible. I've all ready looked at most of the review sites for sample images, so please don't link to those.

From what I've seen a lot of the images from the D1x don't seem very sharp. Is this just because all I saw were crappy photos or because the camera naturally takes photos that aren't perfectly sharp. If they are naturally not quite sharp can you correct this by bumping up the sharpness?

Answer 1

The D1x is an excellent camera. The images are supposed to be flat. You do need Nikon Capture to bring out the sharpness and rich detail of your jpegs. Adobe photoshop won't do it. Like the D1 (which I own) you will never see a camera built like this. Go to www.dpreview.com/reviews/nikond1x/ and read the pros and cons and the tips to getting great images with the D1x. Also pbase.com ,type in D1x and you will be shown images taken with this camera. One note, the D1x needs high quality lens to get its full effect

Answer 2

If someone took a less than sharp image with  D1x it was because they intended to or they were using a crappy lens.  It had nothing to do with the quality of the camera itself.

I used a D1x once.  And the results were excellent.
