Nikon E3 (1998)

< Zurück Weiter >

Announced 1998-06-15, the Nikon E3 was not marketed until a few months after Nikon introduced the famous D1 in 1999. The E3 and it's slighty improved brother the E3S marked the end of the E-series. From 2000 on Nikon focused entirely on their D-line. The E3 had a full-frame 1.3 MP sensor and was jointly developed with Fuji. Therefore Fuji marketed this camera as the Fujix DS-560. While the D1 already used CF Typ I and II cards and Firewire, the E3 still used the older PCMCIA Flash ATA cards and the not-so-easy-to-use SCSI ports. As it seems from the pictures, there was also a special macro kit available for dentists or other medical purposes. I've never seen a kit like this and it reminds me of the Fujix DS-220.
