When Nikon introduced its own-branded D1 camera last year it was a wake-up call for photographers. At $5,500 it introduced a solid, manageable professional camera at half the price of the offerings by Kodak. The D1 introduced a 2.1MP sensor shooting at 4.5 frames-per-second which brought a digital…
