To keep other threads clean I thought I should start a new one for the benefit of Joe and others that might be interested.

Other than megapixels a significant difference is colour space. D1 colourspace - NTSC (1953) and D1H and D1X - sRGB and Adobe 1998
There is not as much net info on the D1 as the D1H or X. I guess thats down to the rise of the net during that period. The Overall conclusion in these reviews and others sums things up well, in that a lot of the bugs in the D1 had been sorted for the D1H and D1X.
I will continue to look for same scene comparison shots, but the megapixel difference between the D1 and D1X will show up in the recording of fine detail.
