Imaging-Resource Posts Nikon D1x Review

Dave Etchells at the Imaging-Resource has posted the first, full, production model Nikon D1x review that I am aware of on the net. We also have a D1x in the house and are working on that review as well as several others. The Nikon D1x is a vastly improved camera over the D1, especially in the area of color reproduction. Part of Dave's closing remarks:

"Colors from the D1x appeared very natural and well-balanced. The sRGB default color space produces much more accurate colors on typical computer monitors than did the NTSC color space of the original D1. The optional "Adobe RGB" color space (accessed via the Custom Settings Menu) provides significantly greater color gamut for critical work, and is most suited for use in a color-managed environment and workflow.

It's rare for a single product to change the ground rules for an entire marketplace, but Nikon's original D1 did just that for professional digital SLR cameras when it first shipped about a year and a half ago. With the release of the D1x, Nikon's done it again. They've managed to simultaneously improve nearly every operating parameter, from color quality, to resolution, to image noise, while at the same time incorporating numerous user-interface improvements and ergonomic niceties."
