OT: Nikon F3+Kodak DCS 100

[Creagerj]

The Nikon F3 DCS 100 was the first DSLR as far as I know. I've been hunting for information on these intersting units. I was wondering if anyone had info or pictures of the DCS 100? Better yet does anyone have on of these?

Here is a link to MIR

good resource on basic camera histories

You can actually find these on the bay from time to time ... getting more rare though by the day

I have an F3

and have read about the DCS back. I doubt you'd want one to use, it's very low resolution, you may want to collect it though.

I'm surprised the mods have no problem with this thread.

I oddly enough had that on my hard-drive because I was going through old photo magazines and found it amusing.

Vitals:
1.3 MPix. color or monochrome,
2.5 images per second
ISO 200 to 3200
"portable" storage pack
$20,000

You can probably get one for like 200 bucks at this point ... mostly for the F3

A digital collectable--a contradiction in terms?

I disagree with the price IGMeanwell suggests...I have been keeping track and normally they go over $500 especially if the unit is complete.

Here is a DCS-200ci

Yeah I am probably thinking of the newer models that go cheaper

I want one for the purpose of collecting. It sounds weird I know but I think that vintage electronics are cool.
