Stephen,
The D1X is I feel one of a kind and knowing that of the D1 series I would end up favouring the D1X over D1, D1H and D100 is why I thought I would give it a thread in its own right.
I have dug out a DIX brochure and that shows the effective pixels at 4024 horizontal and 1324 vertical. One might from that expect a panoramic image. However if I look to recording pixels then that is stated as 3008 horizontal and 1960 vertical. So we have stage one trickery here that cannot be compared to a standard sensor as we normally know it. Stage 2 trickery is that NC4.4 or NX recognise the D1X sensor alone in allowing a default save option for the larger file.
Comparing the sensors horizontal and vertical resolution with other cameras shows that this particular one is well different.
D2X - 4288 x 2848
D1X - 4024 x 1324
D100- 3008 x 2000
So horizontal resolution is nearly on a par with the D2X, well above the D100, yet vertical resolution is below the D100.
Hence my search for info on the D1X sensor as posted yesterday.
