 | | Indeed, most of the D1 series features are derived from either the F5 or the F100 bodies (curiously, the D1 is described by Nikon as having the F100's viewfinder, though it includes the F5's 1005-pixel color CCD for exposure and white balance calculations). |
 | | The CCD sensors the D1 models use are unique to Nikon The D1 and D1h consist of a 2012 x 1324 array, and it has massive 11.8 micron photosites. |
 | | The banding noise doesn't appear in the recent original D1 I've used, and owners who've complained about it to Nikon and had their D1 serviced seemed to have oscillators replaced in their cameras, which mostly fixes the problem (at high ISO values, there is still a faint pattern to the noise, though). |
