Not a single D1H Thread

[smodak]

No one uses it anymore???????

 

[Daniel Bates]

I'd like one...


I tried searching for it but the search software filtered out the term (too short). Grr.

I use a D1H and LOVE it! It's my all time favorite Nikon body. I use it for sports, nature and well everything. I have a D1X also and a D1 (have the whole famiy), but prefer the D1H.

I see them for sale popping up for about $400-500ish - what's the advantage vs. D200? Deeper buffer yes, what else?

 

[jonlee]

My D1H turns my AF lenses noticably faster than my D200. It also seems to track the action better, perhaps due to the Multi-cam 1300 module. Its smaller 2-3 MB files are a joy to work with compared to my 8-9 MB D200 files. Of course, the resolution is a fraction of what the D200 has. I'd also say the D1H has less noise at high iso, than the D200.

I still use mine despite having more modern Nikon bodies. Image quality is still competitive IMO. Only significant downside is battery performance. You just need to carry several. (Normally three when I shoot with it)

I loved my D1h, but eventually the battery issues drove me nuts and I got a D2hs. I've never used a D200 but I'll bet the D1h AF, FPS, buffer, and hi ISO are all as good or better than a D200. If someone would make a Li-ion battery for it it would be a killer camera.

I still use a D1H though I am just running into serious battery problems, anyone know what a flashing battery indicator means?
Lots of pictures with D1H on

Hi Dave,

It means you need to buy a new battery.

Dave,
I get all kinds of weird "flashing" (see my post on "battery/card" problems here on forum) , and am in the market for some new batteries - ANYONE have any experience with 3rd party doing well?

I have all three of the D1 family, love the D1H, probably most of all, and much more than the D70, D70s, D50 I have.....they perform, but just aren't the same....
we ought to start an "Oldies but Goodies" fan club...
right Lisa?

Right! Count me in!!! :biggrin:

I used to buy the cheap ones on Ebay. I didn't do any sceintific tests but they didn't seem any worse than Nikon. For sure Nikon wasn't 3 times better, which was the price differential at the time as I recall.

I haven't tried one yet but Battery Barn has a new 2700mAh En4 battery that should be a good performer.

thanks

Love My D1h.

 

[C Reinhardt]

Trying to sell my D1H -see for sale forum. I haven't used a D200 and can't believe a 1H still focuses faster than a 200. Really? How would it stack up against a 30D say at shooting autoracing?

 

[lisantica]

C Reinhardt, I bet I'll regret not buying your D1H, but I must resist.

Ditto, let me know how you like those Battery Barn batteries. I'm in need of some new juice and I might just buy those too.

Well the D1h has more auto-focus points than a D200, 1300 vs 1000 and more "cross" sensors - 3 vs 1. It also has a more powerful motor for turning "screwdriver" type lenses. I've never used a D200 either but I can't recall anyone saying the AF was better than a D1 class camera, although I've heard many say the opposite. Can't help with the camparison to Canon either.

 

[ironhorse]

Ditto...it takes quite some time to refresh. You also need to do it 3 times to initially condition them. Let me know how long the new 2700mAh batteries last.
